Zastava M70 Mauser scope mounting options

Those funky monte carlo stocked rifles were/are nice alright

Thanks for the info on the latest from SFRC. Old stock as in they were built on unused M48 actions? Wondered about that since they had the charger guide, wing safety and it looked like the bolt handle was bent, not machined/originally made to clear a scope

The prices were tempting

Some of them are intermediate length m48's and some are full length 98's. The commercial ones with no charger guide and without thumb cut out are for sure full length 98's as found on the recent Zastava's.

Not quite the same but one of the Zastava 7x57's, built on a commercial action [no clip guide or thumb cut] turned out to be an intermediate action. ;-(

Yup. Husqvarna also built commercial versions of the 96 without the clip guide or thumb cut in various cartridges as well. I've owned a few of them over then years. - dan

So, why do people buy Zastava?

Because having a solid Mauser action, great bluing, an adjustable trigger that tunes up real nice, and barrels that usually really shoot, is worth having to buy different scope rings. For $695 back in the day, worth it.

I mean, people pay that or more for a Savage Axis, that may or may not feed and eject well.

Pick one over say a Husky, not I. But they often come in chamberings that the Huskies dont and configurations they dont

One can find lemons with any brand. I've had two recent lemons from Winchester m70's Super grades, one with maple and one with walnut, both new in the box. What are the chances of buying two lemons at once? It happens. Overall a zastava m70 with some TLC like a bedding job, trigger tune, and a couple coats of oil on the stock will be a good working rifle. Not all of them are lemons.
 
glad to find this thread,

I recently bought a Picatinny rail from Danger Noodle to mount on my Interarms Mark 10 - (Zastava 98 Mauser), and I have tried 2 different scopes, and both have a windage problem, the exact same issue that when turned to full adjustment leaves me 2 moa to the left of the bullseye - elevation isn't the problem, just the windage. I then tried reversing the rings to see if they were the problem, but I got to the same spot 2" left of the bullseye, so I realized now that there must be an issue with the factory holes drilled in my receiver being slightly misaligned. Is there a workaround to correct this problem?

I want to move it at least 6 moa to the right to allow for using other ammo

are there 30mm windage adjustable scope rings to fit a pic rail? I'm reading that the Burris XTR rings with adjustable inserts won't hold recoil well and can slip. This is chambered in .308 Norma Mag and thumps pretty hard.

Easy answer is a Leupold/Redfield mount with the windage screws. - dan
