Quality on the newer 2014 models have improved over the 2012-2013 models. Wood finish is better, checkering is professionally done, not slopply. Actions seems like there smoother, I have bought three 2014 models zastava's within the last month, and there better than the previous ones ive owned. They also shoot super accurate, im very happy with the accuracy. Ive shot one today and I got less than 1 inch group, and even with hot loads there very accurate. I would recommend these rifles to any one who wants a rifle in a European caliber.
