How can the CZ / Interarms / Charles Daly, etc... rifles be valued so much less than a Win or FN rifle with similar design features?
Considering building or buying a rifle in 375 H&H; the listing/asking prices on websites like Gunbroker and others vary hugely. From around 700 on the Rem798, to 1500 range for recent production Mod 70 "classic", and 2X or 3x as much for a pre 64 Mod 70 and many of the decent commercial FN Mod98.
I understand that over the last 50 years, changing quality of materials and manufacturing techniques have created a demand for the oldie but goodies. Is the market for them inflating the prices on some of the others simply from demand?
Or are do more recently made CRF actions have more differences than meets the eye?
Posting this in the gunsmithing forum 'cause I believe that you guys who build and repair these rifles would share some knowledge that a shooter/tinkerer like myself doesn't see.
