Now the bad news!
My example is a 3 moa gun at its very best, with handloads! 4-5 moa would be more accurate!
If it were me, while this Zastava is a “nice looking” rifle, I would rather find a CZ 527 to rebarrel, convert! IMO.
Note that, in my opinion, the accuracy here is likely a function of the barrel. This would be changed when someone converts it. Stuff like bedding and triggers are worked on daily on many brands of rifles, so not a 100% no-go for this rifle.
