CLR's tend to be good shooters. I have had three, and still have one in 7RM. I hunted with it for years, but finally broke down last year and ordered a drop in stock from Melvin. The new stock (and much softer pad) helped dial the felt recoil back so that now it is much more comfortable to shoot.
My take is this: IMO the CLR's tend to shoot out of the box, are pretty lightweight, and can be had at bargain prices. I personally would not spend a ton of money on one, and only bought the new stock for mine as I am getting more recoil averse as time goes on.
If I were you, I would fix/replace the trigger in your rifle, and then test it as is to see how she shoots. You might be surprised. If you couldn't get it to shoot, I'd sell it to someone telling them what you experienced and move on.
