For a while now, I have been thinking of adding a bolt action 22 to my safe...something like a Ruger American Rimfire or Savage MkII. But while surfing the interwebs the other night, I came across this rifle and bought it on a whim. It's a Zastava CZ99 made in Serbia. From what I have read, it seems this gun has been imported and sold by several companies over the years; Remington Model 5, Charles Daly Superior II and Zastava MP22.
I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the quality of the rifle and anxious to get it out to the range to how she performs. I definitely prefer the walnut stock to the RARs plastic stock. In fact, there doesn't appear to be anything made of plastic on the rifle at all, not even the mag release button. Some of the highlights are the deep, high polish blueing, the hooded front sight, heavy milled receiver and adjustable trigger (I was able to easily set mine to 2 lbs). Other than adding a Williams rear peep sight, this rifle will most likely stay stock. I've seen other add a WCRS-54 to the 11mm dovetail.
I'd like to hear from anyone out there that has any experience or tips with this rifle. I probably will be tuning the magazines in the near future as they are a little hard to load and catch the tip of the round as they load.
Here are some pics since everyone likes pics.
