I have to laugh when I read how everyone is making such a big deal over the stamped checkering on the Zastava. I own a couple of Remington model 600's with the worst stamped checkering I've ever seen on any rifle and yet I have never once heard any criticizing Remington for the poor quality.
I've owned a pile of Remington 600, 660, and 600 Mohawks, all with pressed checkering. I had one 600 Mohawk stock with poor checkering, but it was the exception to the norm in terms of QC, all the rest being well executed and in that way superior to the poorly executed checkering on the recently imported Zastava 85s that I have personally seen.
