9.3x57,
Virtually all of my recent impressions are those of the posters that reflect negatively on the action, however I do have one very positive experience with a Zastava rifle that occured 15 years ago. While on a chamois hunt in Bavaria I dropped my Heym bolt action on the side of a mountain coming down from the day's hunt. I shot it the next morning and it ended up having scope damage. I swapped and then tested a good friend's Zastava in 7x64 Brenneke before the guide and I hunted again. I remember being surprised at how well the rifle was finished and fit (in both wood and metal) and it functioned perfectly with no undue bolt wobble or roughness and it exhibited 1" accuracy at 100 meters. The rifle was new the year before (no work was done on it with the exception of a claw mount installation) and picked up at Franconia in Wurzburg, Germany. It makes me wonder if the United States exports of late and even the older Mark Xs were made to a price with attention to quality control only for the continental European market? In any case if I were to run across that same configuration again I would be quite tempted to pick one up. The recent run has not impressed me at all.

Best Regards
