I've have a left-hand Zastava Model 70 Mauser purchased NIB. It is chambered in the venerable 6.5X55 Swedish Mauser, shoots very well, and as many know can be loaded to velocities exceeding the 6.5 CM.
I enjoyed breaking in the barrel properly then working up a nicely accurate Barnes load for it. A good stock man here slimmed down the (IMO) chubby factory stock, shaping a proper European style cheek piece, then finished with a medium dark stain, several coats of poly, a very nice checkering job, and installed sling studs. It has a 22-inch factory barrel fitted with a folding rear sight and ramped/hooded front post. The bridge has four factory holes for scope mounting. Bluing is perfect throughout. LOP is 13.5 inches to hard plastic butt plate. Weighs 7.1 lbs. The round count is <125.
I love this rifle, but have a few others in Swede I'll probably grab most times I head to the woods for deer (or elk or bear, for that matter) because I don't want to ding this one up.
For somebody that has been looking for a really nice, mild chambered LH bolt to get a youngster started, or just to spoil yourself with, this may be the one for you. I've got $1,100 into this rifle, and am firm about getting most that back out. The buyer can pay for shipping any way you want it shipped and insured to your FFL. It will come in the original factory box. I'm a private seller in zip 59801, so make sure your FFL agent will receive from me with ID. I've got lots of pictures, so just PM me with your email/text to request images. I'll try to respond to all.
