I have a Rem 799 in 22 Hornet which has the Zastava action. I have shot it a little and worked the trigger a little and it is an OK rifle. I would describe it as a loose CZ. Accuracy was about 3/4" at 100 which is par for a decent factory Hornet and the trigger worked out pretty well, too. If the rifle is priced right it would probably be a decent hunting gun. If you can get the bore scoped that would be worth doing. I am always a bit paranoid about used rifles with chrome molly barrels as I have gotten bit on more than one occaision with nice looking rifles with pitted bores.

The trigger was adjustable, certainly not a Jewell but more than good enough for a hunting rifle. drover

Timney makes a trigger, maybe for the Mini. I'd like to get a Mini. I've seen M48s advertised as a "short" M98 so it may be worth measuring the distance between the screws and magazine opening.

Since they are one of the few true Mauser actions that come in Left Hand I have owned a few. Devcon bedded and the action slicked up a little they are a very good rifle. Nice deep bluing, good accuracy with both factory and hand loads. I currently have a 7x57 I trimmed down to a classic stalking rifle. It will shoot 3/4" with factory Sellier and Bellot ammo, slightly better with hand loads. All of the ones I have owned would do better then 1" after being bedded.

They appear to have a sort of painted on varnish that hides the grain, very similar to the M600 BRNO's of the 90's.. Looks a lot better, re-finished, Dean2.

Did you use alkanet root when you refinished the stock?

Barretcreek, the finish is Truoil. I did put a coat of Birchwood Walnut stain on the stock, let it soak in for 10-15 minutes and then wiped it off, let it dry, before putting on the first of probably ten coats of Tru oil. There is nothing else that I used except for the Devcon to bed it. I let each coat dry about 10 days. |
