What does everyone think about these? An almost local gunshop has them for $739 after rebate.

Search this forum for 'Zastava', 'Charles Daly' and '798' to see what people have said.

$739 sounds like a lot to me for that rifle.

I saw one at Cabela's.....stock fit wasn't at all bad and it was all walnut.

I wouldn't buy one sight unseen as the wood-metal fit historically from Remington was "Piss poor" at the best.

I disagree with some here.....I'd buy it but after seeing it in person and inspected the fits and from a reputable dealer.

I have a whitworth 375 H&H and the one I saw at Cabelas was on a par believe it or not.

I looked at a 798 at a local shop. It looked decent for the money. It's a quick inexpensive way into a Mauser in 375 H&H. At $740.00 there's still room to do some interior stone work to refine the feed and action feel. Basically tune it up a little more. It will do the job it was desinged to do. KILL LARGE ANIMALS. Game over, next?

Truth is, you can't build an after-market Mauser of the same quality for the same money unless you luck out on really cheap parts.

You could in a standard caliber or standard magnum but there just aren't enough 375-compatible parts out there to beat it.

I've have to agree with tiggertate. I'd buy it. I used a Whitworth-interarms mark X in 30-06 for 30 Plus yrs at the range and hunting and have had not one problem with it. Not one. I'd buy it.

I have about 100 rounds through mine. I paid $715.00. The action was rough, but very fine sandpaper, emory boards (wife's), valve grinding compound and 0000 steel wool make it nice and smooth. It is the older laminated stock, with two crossbolts, and a metal block glassed into the stock, at the front crossbolt and recoil lug.

It seems to be accurate, but I am still working on loads, with powder and bullet selections.

I would buy it again, just know what you are buying and weigh that against the price.

I also have some earlier posts about this model.
