I'm looking for any general or model-specific pointers on what to look for when buying a used biolt-action rifle. This is potentially the most gun I can get for my money, but buying used is a gamble: I want to improve my odds.
The gun is a .308 CZ 550 Lux model. It is allegedly 7 years old and has apparently seen 100rds...
I'm a bit sceptical about that rounds count, but it could be possible if this was a hunter's gun. They look used but don't see the round counts of a range enthusiast...
I won't have access to any special tools or gauges: just my eyes, fingers and common sense. So basically that's eyes and fingers...
I'd like to know what to check for play.
What should be tight and what should be a bit loose.
I'd like to know any tips on checking the condition, wear, and straightness of a barrel, if that can be done
etc
Any tricks you care to share with me?
