a cracked stock can be fixed. just a matter of knowledge and time. i ve seen our .366 wagner fixing a mauser 96 stock and the way it was done it will never happen again so you should no worry too much about a crack,.
New or used? 9.3x62

You're right, that stock of hers never did crack again, and the flip-flop pad is still doing the heavy work, too.
One of my oldest '62s is also a Model 96, and it has never whimpered, even with the heavy bullet loads.

Right you are, I acquired a pair of full wood models and both of mine are gradually doing so. For the dollar value I was amazed 
at the accuracy of the first one, the 9.3x62, with my first few reload tests. So much so, I picked up a second, in 7x57. Bang for the buck, NO complaints!!littlehughey

Speaking of zastavas, have any been imported in the last while? I havent seen any new ones crop up on our shores in almost a year.

Haven't checked out what's available lately but when I picked up mine, I got them from Trade Ex. Oh, an issue I had with both is the length of pull but a friend that's into gunsmithing easily took care of that.
get what you want while you can you never know when it will be the next time ...

Half a page of garbage and then a resort to some IMAGINARY statement from Sauer some pulled out of there asses with information out of context and knowledge of the facts. Keep feeding the community with pseudo expertise, lol.
On one point I agree - the truth will come out!
I’m not sure if they made different versions of the Sauer 100 but here is a link to a guns and ammo review that explains how the barrel and receiver are assembled. Barrel threaded to receiver with breech ring in between which sets the headspace. The bolt lugs lock into this breach ring and not into the barrel OR the receiver. On my rifle I can clearly see the threads in the barrel and the breach ring which appears to be made of a different material, looks like stainless. https://www.gunsandammo.com/editori...-refinement-affordability-and-accuracy/247599
You will have no regrets with the Zastava. I just got one from Tradex in 6.5 x 55. These are the three lug Mauser 98 bolts so have a very strong action. These barreled actions were sold by almost everyone at one time as the "Mark X Mauser". Even Remington used them and sold them as the 798, I believe Rigby used them as well as Interarms. I think Browning did as did FN.
These are great rifles; go with the Zastava; I'm certain that 5 years from now, your rifle will appreciate in value as well.
BTW, I'm thinking about picking up one of those used ones for a project rifle. The only think holding me back is the price of ammo to get enough brass to reload. LOL, that and I have no practical reason to have a 9.3 x 62 rifle. LOL.

You can get bags of 100x PRVI brass at trade ex for 90$, and he just received a couple die sets. It's good brass. The loaded prvi ammo was $34.95 a box until just a few months ago, so IMO it wasn't worth reloading at that point. Now the loaded ammo has gone up to 43$/box and is OOS.

Hahahaha.....quite the key board warrior you are. I stand corrected if the barrel is threaded but you do realize when you got more than a dozen reputable gun writers/editorials claiming the barrel is pressed in, its easier to believe them over an obnoxious forum member holding a claim with out presenting much facts. I'm okay eating some humble pie, but it sure seems like you don't. Enjoy your love for the sauer 100

Some more pictures of some 9.3x62 action from 2014
Went out this evening on a stroll , hunting, was hoping to get a 4point buck but saw no deer, but ended up seeing a black bear. It was approx. 75-80 yards away, used my zastava m70 in 9.3x62 topped with Nikon prostaff 3-9x40, 285 gr privi bullet @ approx. 2400/2450 fts. One shot one kill. The bear dropped on the spot then got up and went a few yards groaning and moaning then fell dead. It was a broad side shot hit the top lungs close to the spine.
Here are some pictures of the bear and gun, sorry for the lower quality pics.
SHOT THIS 4X4 MULE BUCK WITH MY 9.3X62, 1 SHOT 1 KILL, LUNGS SHOT @ APPROX 40 YARDS, BUCK WENT APPROX 15 YARDS AND DROPPED.
