I have a 2 year old, left handed Zastava in 458 Win mag. The metal finish is pretty good but the barrel was too light so I had ToomanyTools (John) put a heavier barrel on it. It has a steel floorplate.

The stock is too long in the length of pull and the finish and checkering is pretty awful.

They are for sure worth $350. Yes the stock isn't that great I don't care for the style. I have refinished a number of their older ones and they make a serviceable stock. Their barrels have always been on the light side but I've never had one that wouldn't shoot MOA or less.

I hate the cross pin release. But you can quickly alter it so you don't have to groove your new stock.


As usual just my $.02

If you go to the "Lefties" Forum there are numerous reviews of the new Zastavas starting about on page 5 when we did the group buy here.

Here's one of the better threads with pictures:
