we are going to kickoff a build series with our "used" cz457 22lr! I am starting out with a preowned cz457 pro varmint. Sometimes a benefit to buying used is how much value you can get in parts that are already on the rifle, case in point this rifle came with a yodave trigger spring, area419 30 moa scope base, and a oversized bolt knob! that really saved me some money, and I scored a used MTR barrel from a friend. all together the rifle has only cost me 500 out of pocket, a new one would have cost between 600 and 700 dollars then 100 for the rail, 30ish for the trigger setup, and probably about 30 to 40 for the knob. So I am defiantly money ahead going with a used gun. This is the point at which I will start my baseline testing, and I will continue to upgrade the gun from this point.
