Rifle Envy is Expensive

[gopher]

I spent the month of April in central Oregon working down the sage rat (squirrel) population. I was fortunate to handle and shoot several very nice rifles. See I thought my rifles and gear were pretty darn good but after the Anschutz and Coppers...well hell, now I have new itches to scratch.
Was happy I got a CZ 527 in 17HH before it was discontinued and before the current pricing madness. Its a great rat /P-dog rifle but my friends A 1771 was a whole different level of fine! So does anyone want to talk me off the ledge and out of the 1771? I'm not a fan of 2 stage triggers but it was very good. Any other thoughts pro and con ?(other than price of course)
Then there were the Anschutz 1727 straight pull rifles in 17hmr. Goodness. Well at $4,000 a copy those will always be just a dream.
Cooper 38's wow.
It was a great experience ... but upgrading will be spendy.
