    I bought a cheap second hand Zastava 223 for under $500 scoped. Great fun and accurate. Highly recommend finding something like this, cheap to buy, cheap to feed, so you use it more and get more practice. Rabbits, hares, magpies, wallabies hate it though.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Zastava M85's are under-rated, I remember when they came with open sights and a single set trigger for no extra cost, ran about $800 from memory, they even did a fully wooded Bavarian-style one. A mate of mine bought one, the stocks are a bit hit and miss, some have a nice grain to them, others look plain as pine, I guess they don't waste any wood when they make the stock. With hand-loads his .223 would do sub-moa.
    northdude and Marty Henry like this.
