Well, I've always admired the Mauser, but I presently have three CZs that are close enough to the real deal (CZ550 Lux in .308, a CZ550FS in 6.5x55, and a mini-Mauser CZ527FS in .223). So now I'm wondering, since any other value outside of just being a nice rifle is lost with these modifications, maybe I should wait for a better example worth the $925. It looks like a great rifle overall, but I don't know if it's worth nearly a grand... :-/
