I have found a LH mini-Mark X action, and am seriously considering buying the thing. I want a .222 pretty bad, and am considering buying this action as the foundation. Any experiences with the Zastava actions, good or bad? | ||

Go for it. I have a mini MKX, bought it as a factory barreled action (223). Just dropped it in a B&C stock, shoots great. Hog Killer IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Have you seen this thread? I've done exactly as you have and bought a left hand action to make a 222 on. Looks like they can make up into pretty sweet rifles. I can only hope it turns out something like Gunmaker's. - stu | |||

If one wants a LH 222 there's not too much available...have you checked the Browning micromedalion? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Doubless, I've got two Zastava L/H actions. Both started out as factory originals. My expereince has been that they are sorta rough and require a little bit of polishing and tweaking here and there but as a Lefty I can live with that - primarily possessing the L/H action! One was a standard length L/H .30/06 Sprg. that got turned into a semi-custom 9.3x62, the other a L/H Mini-Mauser .22-250 Remington. The mini action has been slicked up as well but disappointing as far as accuracy was concerned and the factory stock was givena going over to eliminate some of the factory Boo-Boo's. The accuracy was acceptable for a light-weight sporter, not a benchrest varminter. It's now sitting in the back of the gun safe as a project rifle waiting to be turned into a full-blown, semi-custom, teutonic light-weight stalking rifle in .250-3000 Savage. Cheers, Number 10 | |||

I always had good luck with the Mini MKX. I have not used the Daly version but had good luck with the full size version. They work great for the 223 type case. I think Daly tried to push it to far when they stuck 22-250s in them. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Vapo, I am sure they are fine rifles, but I don't like the Browning 60 degree bolt throw, and really am not crazy about the look of the action. And this isn't going to be a high dollar custom firearm, I just want something functional that I can plink with and MAYBE one day down the road take to a prairie dog town... Thanks for the information, guys. | |||

I bought one of the mini mauser actions about 6 months ago. I got in on the custom bottom metal deal that GunMaker offered us and sent the action off to Shane Thompson with a list of things I wanted done to it. Before I knew it the list got long and my fun little song dog gun is going to be outrageously expensive. Oh well, life happens while you're making other plans.

I guess my opinion is not so high on the rifle. I bought one a few years ago when they first came out. I was very disapointed with the quality of the action. Mine was very loose and ruff. Trigger was full of slop. I felt the stock was well done...as good as any Remington wood stock anyway. I never shot mine so I can't tell you how accurate the rifle was. I sold mine. I think you would be better going for one of the new Remington CDS's in 223, at least that is where I will spend my money. They are not a true CRF Mauser action BTW. ****************************************************************** R.

I am just enough of an individualist to shy away from the .223. I know they are a bit more powerful, and probably just as accurate, but the little trip deuce has been on my want list for a number of years. I actually had a BDL in .222 a few years back, just sold it because it had the "crank" on the wrong side... (I am trying to go to all LH rifles.) | |||

Dear Doubtless, A guy could always get one of the C.Daly LH 223s and take the barrel off and set it back about .175 and rechamber to 222 Rem. Just a thought. Aloha, Mark When the fear of death is no longer a concern----the Rules of War change!! | |||

Gerry A factory 250-3000 won't fit in the 22-250 mag of a mini-mauser. I tried it :-) Rich

I've thought I'd like to have one built up into the new 6.8 caliber used by some of our military. A small, light deer gun for my woods traipsing...and possible use by my granddaughter in three years.  .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

I love mine. Sure it was gritty for a long while. Feeds reliably, holds 6 down, unloads out the bottom. The trigger assem isn't much, to get mine down to about 2lbs. the safety stops working, except that to push it off releases the sear. Didn't want a safety anyway. At maybe 500 rounds the dinky little extractor broke, but www.satterleearms.com sells 'em. Mine is very accurate for such a small light rifle. (.223Rem) | |||
