I just read a very good, IMO, review/comparison of the 7.62x39 Zastava Mini-Mauser and the CZ 527 Carbine in Calibre Magazine that's on the internet. I believe it's a Canadian publication. The review describes each rifle in detail and gets into the pros & cons of each. I don't have a Mini-Mauser but I've got a 527 Carbine in 223 which other than caliber is the same rifle as the 7.62. I thought his description and review of the CZ was pretty accurate so I'd guess the data on the Mini-Mauser is too.
