lovemy99 Campfire Outfitter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 8,225 Snohomish, WA	I'm thinking I may need to get in on this... I would also be interested in a RF. Anyone know for sure if the full length stock is avaliable? Not sure that it matters much as I am pretty sure that I am just going to replace whatever I get with a wood stock... thinking 22-250 with double trigger... Andrew

I'm really torn about what caliber/chambering to pick and unlike many here have never dedicated a lot of time to studying the nuiances of each... if anyone wants to pitch in there comments, I'll listen... In the 85 I'm between a 223 and a 22-250 ... need to convert the twist rates to see what the factory barrel has going for it. In the 70... 7x57, 7x64, 6.5x55, and the 9.3x62 (not really a need/use but would be cool) and I am not going to pick more than two... Andrew

What style is on the pics of this link? http://www.k-var.com/shop/home.php?cat=442&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&page=4 kk alaska Alaska 7 months of winter then 5 months of tourists

Jim in Idaho Campfire Ranger Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 28,385 Idaho, USA	Yes, I asked for a monte carlo style - that is the one pictured in the link. I talked to Elliot over a week ago so I forget the exact details of the conversation but I seem to recall that the monte carlo was the default stock style. When I asked about them (thinking of that schnabel forended oak leaf carved stock on the Zastava site) he said it will definitely be a monte carlo. Kind of weird that they put a rear sight on it but no front sight. It specifically says in the details "Front sight: No". You had asked in that thread on AR about hog back stocks, here is a hog back style (this on a CZ): Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

As for me, I ordered a LH 9.3x62, since ammo is available -- and rifles in that caliber are fairly rare. Also, in 9.3, the mag holds five cartridges plus one in the chamber, unlike the 375 and 458. I may order additional calibers in the next round. Just a reminder, though. This order closes on Friday and deliveries are projected 90 days later. If you want one for hunting, you should order and get your deposit in now (credit card is okay), so you have time to tinker with loads, etc. well before next hunting season. Give Elliot a call if you have any questions. He can set you right up. A post on AR said that Elliot now has orders for 34 rifles and he is hoping to get deposits for at least 50 to make a favorable impression on Zastava. Given the prices and the rarity of LH forged Mauser actions, I figure that I need at least one for sure. Common calibers are desirable too, but there are other LH alternatives for those. I would like 7x57, .308, 6.5x55, 300WM, and more. Norman Solberg International lawyer, lately for 25 years in Japan, now working on trusts in the US, the 3rd greatest tax haven.

Elliot said that I had to specify sights I requested both front and rear sights. Sorry after a 12 hr night shift i forgot to ask if I was getting a 7 MM Mauser as requested.

The Mini Mauser is in stock, the 7mm was slipped in with the LH order. Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that.

Hope K-VAR continues to be willing to do something like this every once-in-awhile. I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.
