My thoughts on the Zastava MK M70 prior to buying one second hand was they were a very roughly finished POS. I purchaced one in 375H&H for $725.00
from a person that decided that ammo was too expensive & recoil from the bench with 300 grain factory ammo was too much, it had 15 rounds through it. I thought may be i could turn a pigs ear into a silk purse.
On stripping the rifle down & cleaning it up the metal work is very well finished. An all steel M98. With an Excellent internal barrel finish with a fully adjustable trigger, now set at 3 pounds.
The stock is very poorly finished & poorly bedded i think they must have a rat at the factory that chews out the barrel channel & with a brown finish like mud hiding some reasonable timber, after some reshaping & fitting a steel grip cap & Ebony fore end tip & Epoxy bedding the action it looks much better .
The magazine holds 3 it feeds & extracts like silk & i can not see how the action length or magazine is too short for the 375.
In all i think they are a hidden gem .
