I was just thinking about starting a thread on this subject when I noticed this one.

I just saw on grabagun.com that the Zastava 98s (listed as by Arsenal, Inc.) are for sale for $483. IMHO, that's a great deal for such a good rifle with a classic action, brand new, with a wood stock AND iron sights--which are hard to find on anything that isn't "safari" grade (and price) these days:

They have them in 243Win, 270WIn, 308Win, 30-06, as well as 22LR, 7.62x39, and a few others. The big game calibers are only with slightly hogback buttstock shape (like the CZ "battue" style), though. It looks as though the smaller calibers (at least per the pics) have the classic stock profile. In any case, it seems like a great deal to me!
