Cal,
Bavarian Comb is a stock shape favored by some in europe. Near the butt end of the stack it "turns down". A less kind name for the Bavarian Comb is "hog back". If you go to the CZ web site and look at the rifle picture you'll see what I mean. Theoretically it is supposed to line up iron sights to the hunters sightline more easily and put the butt of the stock a little lower in the meat of the shoulder rather than upwards towards the bones of the shoulder and collar. The "American Sporter" on the other hand is more of a "straight line" stock and favors scope shooting. There have been quite a few folks who planned to buy CZ 550 Safari Magnums and restock them automatically but once they tried the "hogback stock" they ended up liking it (or were short of money for the restock).
Bolt, I was assuming new rifles; however, you are right about used guns. I have nothing against a good used rifle. If you are patient, especially this time of year, you can pick up a used 375 quite reasonable. Even folks that love their 375's don't tend to shoot tons of rounds through them - thats the varmit folks (which WILL sharpen you up by the way).
The "turn rate" here in the lower 48 for anything over 338 runs pretty high. Lots of folks get a "wild hair", buy a 375 for grins, expect to treat it like granddaddy's deer rifle, go to the range ignorant of what they're handling, take their first shots at the bench shooting at paper (worst place for get kicked by any caliber) and get "spanked" in the process - poor technique, stumble in and stumble out - then they cash in the rifle and go back to the mild stuff that allows one get away with poor technique and poor fit. Good news is it does mean a fair supply of near new, inexpensive big bores for those that know how to handle them. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
