Re: Remington to Acquire Marlin Firearms...

I have a left hand "Charles Daly" Zastava '98 magnum action. I found it last year on an internet search. It is ok considering the relatively low cost. But, it will need quite a bit of smoothing internally to get it to feed anything properly/reliably. It was worth the money, since it is rare to find one in left hand and I don't think Rem is introducing anything left handed in the 798. No lefty's from Win either, at least for now.
Actually, on what I read they are going to offer a left hand version--in fact if memory serves me correctly, the model tested by Boddington was a lefty..
I took a peak at one of these at SCI--overall it seems o.k..however the sights and safety are poorly configured and IMHO cheaply made..if I were to buy one I would switch that out first thing.. The action on the one I picked up seemed o.k. for what you were getting..but agree, I would have it worked by a gunsmith.
