I've used a few egw rails on zastavas, interarms and a few Charles dalys. Good company they even replaced the mounts on savage rifles me and a friend got 3 or 4 years ago.

Here's one I've only seen a few examples pop up for sale: 20" barrel full (Mannlicher) stock chambered for the .375 H&H Magnum cartridge. This one is an Interarms Mark X but I've seen this combo in ZCZ Zastava marked receiver as well.

Probably on Monday. I am curious to see how it sights in. One screw on the rear sight, elevation screw, is buggered and will need to be replaced.

I have a lefty in 25-06. I wish I could run across another LH gun but it was an ordeal just to get the one I have.
That's never stopped me, but to each his own.
Post up a range report including how that Bavarian style stock works out for you.
I haven't oiled any stocks on the rifles I've purchased with oil finished stocks yet. Most of mine have a polymer urethane finish. After studying some THR threads I think I'll give this stuff a try.

My default sling (especially, on a wood stocked rifle) is a 1907 repro leather sling. Useful for field shooting positions and good looking.
Yep.
1:10 inches rifling twist for factory Zastava. 270 Winchester rifle barrels.
I got away from leather slings and such after I lived in Southeast Louisiana, and was there for Hurricanes Katrina & Gustav. Synthetic materials are less susceptible to problems brought on through weather and climatic conditions.
BTW, the rear sight on that rifle can be folded down if you weren't aware.

Since I quit using two piece bases I use EGW as my first choice. If I can’t get what I need from EGW which has not happened yet I’ll look to Warne. If Warne was the same price I’d just go with them.
My shoulder doesn’t get along with hogback stocks.

Range Report.
I am pleased with this rifle. It shoots very well. The hogback stock works for me.
Yesterday I measured the trigger pull with my Lyman gauge. I was getting about 4.5 lbs.
I slapped some Tung oil on the stock. It looks better now.
Shot about 10 rounds at the indoor range. I can get 100 yards there. It looked almost perfect for a 200 yard zero. Maybe a bit high. With my old eyes, it is not exact. The windage was good from the factory.
Shot some in my Lead Sled and some standing offhand. Fun to shoot offhand with it.
Came home and made a small adjustment to the sight to bring the group lower by a tiny bit. It is probably a perfect 200 yard zero now. Close enough.
Took the bbl action off and adjusted the trigger. I did not measure yet but it is improved and probably about 3.5 lbs now.
What a great rifle.

Pachmayr, Kick-Eez and Limbsaver are all good. I’m partial to the Pachmayr 752B Old English Pad in red for wood stocked firearms.

Absolutely wrong.....it's time to buy another safe!
Although .270 Winchester isn't a relatively hard kicking round I've come to appreciate recoil minimization where practical. So I'd go with a Pachmeyer Decelerator or Limbsaver Airtech.
Another option would be to install a Zastava or Interarms buttplate found secondhand on eBay or maybe Gunbroker, and use a slip-on recoil pad such as the Limbsaver Airtech when you take it to go shooting. No constant compression force on the recoil pad if stored muzzle up that way. And if the slip-on pad wears out, no cost and labor fitting a new one directly to the rifle's butt stock.

The last Zastava I had I had to completely refinish. It was a 22 that it looked as if they had forgotten to apply finish after they stained it. I would drop the hammer on a Mark X over the newer guns.

I suppose that means you won't be using a "pig back" style stock going forward, although I haven't honestly looked at B&C synthetic stocks.
I have purchased a few Interarms Mark X stocks in non-"pig back" style (Monte Carlo and American) to replace the "pig bag" stocks on some of my 2019 Zastava M70 pre-owned rifle purchases, planning to then sell the surplus "pig back" stocks. I somewhat doubt if the recoil pads on any of the then-surplus "pig back" stocks would have recoil pads in considerably better elastic condition than the one on your rifle though.
