I would rather wait for a deal to come along on used upper end stuff than buy the new lower end stuff. Every time I try to save on the cheaper stuff, I end up paying more in the long run through headaches.
I have the model 25 in 17 Hornet and it shoots fantastic..becomming a huge fan of the hornet..lots of CZ 527's out there in the 650.00 range,...just might have to get one of them for myself!
