Are these models discontinued? I was interested more in the small 799, and in looking at the website it appears so. Can anyone help with more info?

They were not discontinued, just no longer imported by Remington.
These are the same as the Interarms and Daly Mauser/mini mausers

The 798/799 lines were discontinued by Remington about 9-12 mos. ago but someone's given the link to USSG. Too bad we're not able to buy NIB Zastava actions.
Murphy was a grunt.

In Australia ... when Remington dropped them, Beretta Australia picked them up as Zastavas ... came with a $700 price drop too where the Rem798 sold around $1500, the Zastava is just under $800 ... though it is lower spec'd.
Reliable supply from the factory continues to be a problem.
Cheers...

CDNN has some short actions from FN. I don't remember whether they are Mauser or Win Mdl 70 type, but either is good. They were $349.00, I think.

I have a 799 with a terrible trigger. Does anyone know if an aftermarket trigger is available. Timney stopped making them.
Thanks,
Bill

Any trigger for an FN action should work, I believe.

An FN trigger on a 799 mini-mauser?

Mark, I think the 799 is the small action.
Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

I had the standard Zastava action in mind...not the mini.

have a 798 in 458 mag. Trigger is very adjustable. Fairly accurate so far. Action was rough before I polished the heck out of the rails and bolt surfaces. Had mine salt bath nitrided for protection when helping on brown bear hunts on the coast.
