Remington mini-mauser?

[bisonhd]

Might have to get me one of these. 22 Hornet or 223 or a handy 7.62x39?

Remington 799

Anyone played with one yet?

 

[CanAm]

Nice guns. The barrelled action is made by Zastava.

 

[Levi Garrett]

Thats like the one I got on ee, wonder if the barrel will be as accurate, the stock is very nice, better cut than the one on my rifle.

 

[Noel]

Nice little rig, how much are these bad boyz?

I've drooled over that one you have there Levi, just wish I had the funds.

OMG 7.62x39?
Oh very tempted, I am.
Dare I ask what they want for these rifles?

 

[Noel]

Was just at the Remmy site, these 799's are all $599 U.S.

Full length 798's are $599 for basic calibers to $839 U.S. for the 458 Win.

I was suprised the 799 is 6 3/4lbs. It would make the ultimate mountain gun if they had shaved it to 5 1/2 and kept the action long enough to house the 308 to 7 mauser length type of cart. But that is for another thread.

I bet these toys can shoot!

 

[Levi Garrett]

I know the one I got sure shoots 52/53 match handloads
Darn I wonder if that stock will fit it. May pull the ee post now Sweet looking rifle.

 

[Ultramag]

When the hell can we get some in Canada ???????


UM

 

[prosper]

They are reviewed in august's 'shooting times' and july's 'guns and ammo' - seems they're not especially accurate (2")...

 

[Ultramag]

hmmmmmm............that's a bit of a downer alright............a bed job and some fondling should help some though.

UM

 

[CanAm]

Why do they always go with 1 in 12 twist. That gun needs a 1:10 or 1:9. The stock is a huge improvement over the ZCZ factory stocks. I had a achance to look at one at the SHOT Show.

 

[Levi Garrett]

53/53 grain match

Mine is a heck of a lot better than that

 

[Big JD-From the hills]

I would be interested in one in 7.62X39mm, wonder what the bore size would be on that? I have lots of imi brass, and dies for this cal.

Since Zastava make a lot of AK's, I would say .310, unless Remington asked them to change it.

 

[prosper]

it's probably like the mini-30 - a 308 bore, but with a nice long tapered throat to swage down the .310 surplus bullets that you KNOW people will be using with it, even if they're told not to

 

[MapleSugar]

They're basically the same rifle as the Charles Daly Mini-Mauser (with the exception perhaps of better wood on the Remington.)

Interestingly enough, Charles Daly has dropped them from their line. I wonder what happened there?

I asked CD a few years ago if they would make a left hand barreled action in 7.62x39mm; and was told no. Today I talked to Remington and they don't offer any of them in left hand. Damn!

 

[Minshall]

The supplier that CD got all of the actions for deal with Remington now I think. Correct me if Im wrong

 

[MapleSugar]

Naw, you're right Minshall.

As someone else pointed out; I believe they're made at Zastava.

I'm just pissed that CD would make a left-hand .223 but not a 7.62x39mm, and now Remington won't make either.

 

[CanAm]

Best guess is Remington made them a better deal. Wouldn't you deal with Remington rather than CD? Remington is in every shop in NA.
