I've not been impressed at all in the looks of the Zastava's I've handled. I do hear they shoot good but fit and finish is bottom of the barrel.
the bluing on mine is highly polished and deep blue. but this is the remington No5,
The bluing has been the best part of the ones I've seen. Our local GS has a few of them. I wanted to get one because of their accuracy reputation but couldn't stoop to it when I saw them. The stocks look like they were made by 6 year olds and the inletting and checkering by retarded 6 year olds. The mags were floppy and poorly fitted and the safety was amateurish at best.
i have not seen the newer ones you speak of, but for the price i guess one could buy it for the blued barreled action and find a boydes stock to replace the other, I'll have to get out and look at one of the newer ones first hand.
