Many of the models of guns I like are no longer in production. Used is the only choice. In the used under $700 price range, I'd probably be shopping for a CZ 452/453 Varmint or American. It's probably gonna take some shopping around to find a 453 under 700 bucks, though.
For 452/455, I make my own shims out of brass stock and use a spring from ACE hardware. I can do rifle for about less than a dollar.
For a 457, a 60 cent spring is all that is needed to get a great trigger.
The 457 trigger is a nice unit. It's a big improvement over the triggers in the 452/455/453 as far as adjustability goes. I recently put a McMaster Carr spring in mine and adjusted it for creep and over travel. It's now a crisp 12 ounces. Mine is a .17 and a field gun. I know several people...
I sought out a model without a corkscrew. It has a phillips screwdriver in that spot. I figure I am more likely to run across a loose screw than a bottle of wine in the wild that needs drinking. Any wine that fits my budget has a screw cap...lol
