Sorry to once again point you in a different direction to what your thinking Skeet but if you have $600 then you'll have enough for this, and personally I'd choose it over the two you mention.

Good call, same rifle as the howa with a different name on it.

the mini Mauser type action seamed a lot nicer in its over all feel and apperance as ruger the american seamed lacking " plastic mag, mag not flush, protruding from bottom of rifle, bolt angle may interfear with scope"
i liked the zastava as it has in internal mag "drop floor" style and ajastable trigger
and a clean look to it "very top gun in the image"
barrel twist on ruger is 1:9
and the zesatva is a bit higher 1:10 fromLast edited by skeet72; 08-01-2013 at 10:07 PM.

The faster 1:9 twist of the rugers will stabilise heavier pills than the zastava.

Have you held either of them? Go and see which fits best and which feels the nicest, also look at the Weatherby Vanguard as it is cheaper than both of those and I think you will find a much nicer rifle.

Then if you want a target toy I would get neither the Ruger nor the Zavasta,
Apart from that I give up, get the Ruger, Peter Furly will at least look after you if it goes wrong.Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I wouldn't go for the synthetic stock on the Zastava. They are nasty. The wooden stocks are much better.
That Weatherby Jakewire pointed out at H&F is a good deal. Better choice than the 2 you have highlighted anyway.Life is natures way of keeping meat fresh
