What would you do. Recently walked into a gun store and they had three new 715 revolvers in 357 mag. One the trigger was unacceptable the other smooth but hard/stiff pull. I purchased the third which I really like. I have not fired it and don't plan to. I sure would like to purchase the stiff one with the hope of improving it. Or am I dreaming.

I would shoot the one you bought with the great trigger and forget paying the 1000+ for one with a bad trigger. If you must buy another, keep the one with a bad trigger to look at occasionally. Personally I don't care for the new ones harsher lines. I would buy a Monson or Norwich gun for a lot less money. JMO.

Why not shoot it ?
It's value right now is less than the price for a factory NIB gun and it will not appreciate further, until it is discontinued from current production. Then it's value will be established by the good 'ole law of Supply & Demand.
Just shoot the one with the nice trigger that you already have and enjoy it !

Whether or not to shoot it is a personal decision no one else can make for you. I don't buy guns as an investment, but because I want to shoot them. If I am happy with them I keep them otherwise I sell them.
I bought a New Colt 45 SAA in 71/2 Nickel cause I have wanted one since I was a Kid. After all, it is what Matt Dillon carried.
The instruction book said not to work the action and definitely not to shoot it cause it would lower the "collector" value. I laughed and shot it. Found out it is a total pleasure to shoot. It's the only gun I ever named.
If you are an investor and can afford it then don't shoot it, but plan on your kids cashing in on it.
I think you have DWAS. Not curable!
Have fun.

I assume you are talking CZ model "new" 715s ? Surely trigger pull can be fixed if you want another.
But I'm in agreement w/others as far as SHOOT it. I think unfired value may exist on older,
[Monson & Palmer] models, but don't see a big future for CZ models to climb much. I think they are
over priced to begin with. I would watch GB and such if you want a collector piece. But It's your decision !!
Sounds like another case of 
to me !!

Never thought about it from the collect-ability or investment standpoint. I thought that this was like buying wine. You buy two bottles drink one. If it's good, you keep the other.

Just Me, if it's good I drink em both !!!
Also, try to get hold of an older model and try it out, see any differences. 
You can always buy another new one anytime. Just Sayin

I've shot two of the new 715's and they both were pretty much exactly the same, trigger wise, as both of my Monson built guns, a 715 and a 15-2. If you want one to "save", I would buy an older 15-2/715, and keep the new one a virgin. But if it was me, I would buy and old 15-2 and shoot them both. Not worrying about this kind of thing is one of the pluses of buying used. Right now, I'm fighting the urge to sell my 715, seeing the prices it would bring now. I paid $269+shipping+transfer in 2006 for it in near mint condition.

I'll light the flamethrowers here........I'd buy them both and save both of them!! Go ahead shooters...light 'em up!! No one would want a nice new vintage DW anyway when it goes to auction!! Let's just say for example.....like a new PPII

Actually, you buy a case of wine and drink one bottle to know how long to keep the rest. Save the last of the 12 to collect. If you buy 2 bottles you open one and then the second if it is really good. Then you go buy all you can find. I get my wine from my friends winery. Fellow named Fred Schrader, and his ex wife's winery Colgin. Google them. Also I get some plonk called Marcassin.
