Zastava have had their ups & downs over the years but their current production looks to be outstanding for the coin$.
I recommend you seek these out if you are in the market for an M98 with KEEP IT SIMPLE written all over it wink


340,
hi mate, a fellow Aussie here (SA) . I have a Zastava M70 and what sold me was the huge availability of calibres - I managed to get the last 7x57 Beretta Aus had (walnut stock). The metal work and hammer forged barrel are superb but the timber needed a bit of cleaning up - the inletting was smoothed out and the action bedded and barrel floated.
My 7x57 wears a japanese tasco 3-9x in custom mounts / rings. It shoots very well with factory Winchester 145 g SP loads.


Sambar Country - where abouts? Mansfield??

Cheers
Gus
