I may be spending some time in Alaska in the new year for work. I feel the need to bring a large game rifle with me but I dont want to pay out the buttocks for it. In my search I found the Z98 made by Zastava. Its a mauser k98 copy in .375H&H. It was formerly imported under the Charles Daily and Remington brands. I think the Remington model was the 798 but dont quote me on it. The things I like about it are the price, controlled round feed (real k98 extractor), forged parts, And no iron sights. I dont like the look of iron sights on a scoped bolt gun. I dont plan to hunt with this gun. I want it so stuff wont eat me when Im working in the field. I dont want this to turn into a you need this caliber thread. If something tries to eat me its going to get 3 rounds of .375 H&H and 9 rounds of .38 super +p to the face (All faster than it takes to wet ones pants).
Now that you know how I feel about this gun, cartridge, and my "urination in the face of death tactic" what do you think of this rifle? Anyone know a good scope/mount combo for it?
