It pretty much has to be a Zastava or he would not use that word. The Zastava 308 on the Mauser action is the same length as the Zastava in 30-06. Those are both Model 70.
I did see Zastava introduced a new cheeped out modern box magazine bolt rifle. It might be called 85, might not. I do not know if they retain the one size fits all at the receiver. It is to bad, the M70 is a heck of a lot of gun for the money. Then, I am pretty sure the M70 will be around for a while.
Like WTF said: Different companies, even different countries.
BTW, CZ dropped the 550 and replaced it with a 557 push feed in all but the big magnum action such as the 458 Lott, etc. IIFC the 557 is $600 to $700 now. The Zastava M70 with real Mauser action can be found for 1/2 that price. I would take either one over Ruger, Remington or Savage.
