Has anyone seen, handles, inspected or played with one of the new Zastava Mauser 98 actions being imported by Charles Daly? If you have, what was your impression of it? I was playing with the idea of stainless 375 H&H in a nice piece of walnut. | ||

Has anybody their homepage? Or exact company adress? I can�t find it. I would be interested in one of those "fast" .375�s ( Holland�s of course, don�t need no RUM, WSM, BSE ... ) Good shooting! Hermann ------------------ | |||

They're just now trickling into the states, and the stainless ones are still a few months out. They're the same as the old interarms MK10 actions. | |||

There are a lot of things I don't like on that action. The side drilled and tapped, the button release that is half below the stock line, that Remington safety that necessitates a hole in the side of the stock. Lots of work to do to get it to where I want it. OOps, missed the swept back bolt. I wonder why they didnt put fins on the back of these. I am glad they are marketing the mini mausers. I will take those any way I can get them. Chic Worthing [This message has been edited by Customstox (edited 03-05-2002).] | |||

Chic, please detail me: what drilled sides and what doesn�t fit with the bolt handle? I am interested in one in .375 as my next step-up, especially with that "quick" barrels. Thanks, Hermann ------------------ | |||

aHunter, open up the site and click on the picture and it will enlarge. The right side of the rear bridge is drilled and tapped, I would imagine for a lyman peep sight. Adn the bolt knob is swept back and looks like crap in my opinion. The safety is obvious. | |||

Customstox, I just looked it up. Your info is correct, of course. IMO the screws don�t detract from the strenght of the gun any, its just the optics. Other way round I like peeps, especially on a DGR. I might try a Lyman or Williams, I hope its not in the way of the repeating motion. De gustibus non est disputandum, I have nothing agains that swept back bolt ( I don�t like that on the French army bolt action ;-)) I am missing the open sights, don�t they have ones? I very much respect your opinion, Chic, I�m no gunsmith, just seeking info there. Good shooting! Hermann ------------------ | |||

Buy the barreled action, I've had several Zastava's, and their factory barrels are very accurate. | |||

Hermann, I am not sure if they offer open sights. You are right in that the holes will not bother the strength. It is just something that I would weld up to get rid of. With my vision, peep sights are a thing of the past. I do have a Lyman 35 on a Mauser but it mounts on the bolt stop. The problem being is that it costs as much as some rifles now. I think the Alex import ones are much better looking and a better bargain for the money. | |||

customstox I can see why you do not like those two screw holes. I would prefer that they be omitted as well. The bolt handle looks like standard Interarms Mark X issue. That works fine on my 458 lott and 458 win mag. | |||
