This looks like a good deal on a 7.62x39 bolt rifle:

They are a great rifle and that is a super price!

The 7.62x39 has proven to me to be a great whitetail and hog rifle!

I prefer the CZs but the Zastava guns are nice as well.

Zastava, love it! I didn't care for the detachable magazine or barrel band front sight of the CZ.

It is a 20" barrel, just a true "mini" vs. "short" action that makes the barrel seem long. The rifle is a compact for sure!

I like a detachable magazine, but the CZ one is ugly. I agree the front sight band is too.

What loads/accuracy are you getting with your Zastava?

150gr @ nearly 2200 out of a short, light rifle. I can see why you like it.
