Zastavas are made in Yugoslavia i.e. Serbia. I used to have an M-85 .223- lovely little rifle and a tack driver to boot. The only ammo it didn't like was SA milsurp. The metal work was not finished up to western European standards, but it was certainly fit for purpose. The stock was a bit of a disappointment- dimensionally it was good, but the wood (beech?) was very dry and needed a lot of oil. The chequering was a bit agricultural too. Still, it shot fine and I liked it.
Later I bought one of the full sized Zastava actions with a view to building a 9.3x62- again the finish was good, if not brilliant, but considering the barreled action would have been refinished anyway it didn't matter. I also had an original M-98 action on hand to compare it to, and it was dimensionally identical in most respects. The biggest differences were the adjustable single stage trigger and associated safety, the omission of the clip and thumb slots and I think the rear bridge had a different profile to a standard 98. For the life of me I can't remember if the collar had a single slot as per true 98, or two, as in later FN Mausers.
So if you're in the market for an honest, well made '98 style rifle you'd do well to look at the Zastava. No doubt someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Zastava is the only newly manufactured M-98 action around these days. 111 Years of continuous manufacture- that's even better than Ol' Slabsides!
