Here is my Zastava M85 LH

yeah pretty long recevier don't know if its an advantage or not
They also made a semi auto version so not sure if they just used same as base for them

pretty are rifles here it seems in some ways i probably shouldn't have changed mine

Not mine couldn't find a good pic of mine

I have naughton feildmen except i rebarreled mine with a heavier barrel in 17hm2

smith made a load up so i had ammo if a hunt came up
44gr of win-760 federal Magnum primer rem brass and 120gr Corelokt (which sadly are no longer made,However i have 1000 of them to use up) that load gave him 1/2 inch at 100yrds

I started it out with a LH browning a-bolt micro hunter in 308 Brought a Stainless Match Grade Barrel with a 1:9 twist chambered in 260 rem with a varmint contour here is the end product 24 inch barrel, leupold rings and bases with Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 Scope http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a80/muz...

Intended use is Rabbits,Hares,Magpies(pest here)
But unsure on bullet weight to think of using.

they come standard with 20inch barrels not sure if this one has had a chop or not.

Here is my latest lefty rifle Its secondhand Zastava M85 in 223 rem (possibly rebarreled to 20 vartarg at a later date).It has a sound suppressor which should help around built up areas. Im going to fit a sightron SII 3-9x42 scope on it, get rid of the tasco world class 2-7x32 which it has on in the...
