You and me both brother!..i have looked and looked for a model seven footprint, in a left hand action. Possibly mag feed system..i have about 4 rifles i want to build if i can only find the perfect action..and a lefty model seven would fit the bill perfectly.
The CZ 527 micro action is awesome..but to flimsy compared to the model 7
Ill go check out Defiance..probably just what im looking for...remember when a model seven was 650$ new ...now they are 1800$ ..bahahaha...ill throw rocks at my target before i pay 1800$ for something that was barely worth 650$ a few years ago..
These manufacturers have lost their minds.
Same product, same package, triple the price..
Get bent greedy bastards..its not inflation or shipping, its not material cost, or intricate work
Its American greed and its spreading like covid in fact i am proud to say i have not purchased one item from Brownells, or Midway usa since pre-covid price hikes.
I haven't purchased one primer, or bullet from those corporations.
I bet as an American consumer, i can wait it out longer then there companies can.
Ive watched the US market swing up and down over the past 50 something years of my life..and one thing that is proven to us Americans over and over and over...save your money and wait.
Be patient. Once we hit a depression..all of a sudden when folks are hungry they get a clear head and adjust prices ..always have, always will
That is the voice of brutal honesty like it or not.
