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.

Thanks for the memory jogger. I will have to re-read the Boddington article. Seems since my last birthday my memory is getting shorter and shorter. I believe he was using a "one-off" lefty on the hunt. But I think he mentioned specifically that left handed models were not in the immediate future.

I will re-read the story if I can find the magazine. Do you remember the magazine it was published in? I think it was "American Rifleman" or was it "G&A".

Thanks................Lee
