I have a Zastava M85 in .223 that I love. I've killed a bunch of deer with it shooting factory barnes 53gr TSX. I had the opportunity to buy a bunch of them and dig through for one with good wood. Some were very plain and light colored, others had huge mineral spots or streaks, the one I picked out is a very nice piece of quarter sawn, straight grained turkish walnut. I did have to strip off the mud they use as finish and apply some tru-oil.

I've had my eye out for a mannlicher stocked 7.62 x 39 and when I find the right one I'll get it.
