I have never owned one, I have fondled a stamped remington years ago when they first come out. I thought it a fine built rifle which would make a good hunting rifle, the accuracy seems to be there that's for sure !! I'm a little more into heavier paper punchers, still I need a good hunting rifle. I finally just broke slap down from all the CZ talk and purchased one in FS..been happy, but the OP really got a lot of bang for his buck, still amazed at the decrease in group size.
Not trying to change the subject, but I have noticed the Zastava centerfires, and the neat micro mauser action I like it. The barrels looks to be hammer forged outside finished with the forging flats finished into a high luster blue, well I assume that's the way they were made.
