Advice for .375H&H Zastava

I also had to do some homework before purchasing the rifle and also couldn't decide what make to go for... in the end i choose tha Zastava because of the price and the action(M98) and i havent regret my decision since!!! The rifle is very accurate and the recoil manageable! The only problems i encountered with my rifle is that the action was very rough and that it struggled to eject spent casings but only in the beginning, and this was sorted out by working the action when ever i had the chance. Today its performing like a gem and i am extremely HAPPY with this rifle!!! In my opinion a great rifle!!!!!

Unfortunately for me the recoil was not manageable, and I had to make adjustments. It is fine after the adjustments. The action was indeed a bit rough but is totally smooth now after working it. It is a fine rifle at affordable cost, it is not a Krieghoff or a Purdey, but it is reliable.

Cheers

Hi Spike,

No, its the same stock, it may just look a bit different in the sunlight.... But I am looking around for the 798 stock or even to have one custom made, one that will make a significant difference to the recoil. However its not that bad anymore with the decelerator recoil pad on.

thats good, at least you can use it now.
