Zastava Rifles


Recommended Posts

Bought a Zastava CZ99 Precision MP22LR at the start of last December. According to the gunsmith, it features a CZ/Brno barrel (although there's no way I can tell if that's correct) and has been well rated by other customers for accuracy.

 

Have tried it with a variety of ammo, and it seems most accurate with Winchester Super X subsonic hollow points and RWS SS HP, as well as Winchester Wildcat supersonics. CCI ammo seems to feed less readily, which I've read may be due to the true bore dimensions being slightly smaller (.223 versus .224) than US .22 barrels. Haven't tried any other brands yet, but certainly will.

 

I fitted a Walther 3-9X50 AO scope and an SMR silencer. It's a very quiet gun with the Winchester ammo, in fact seems quieter than my CO2 air rifle, apart from the clang when the rounds hit my cast-iron bullet trap. In terms of reliability, I've put 550 rounds through it, and find that it needs cleaning every 150-200 rounds to avoid ejection problems. As for accuracy, I had a go last weekend at the attached chart, rested, at 30 metres. I was quite pleased with that, so moved on to blowing up walnuts, which are about an inch across, and react in a much more interesting way than paper targets!

 

So far, for my first firearm, I'm impressed with its accuracy. I've had the occasional issue with misfires (CCI ammo) and ejection (CCI ammo and/or barrel needs cleaning), but with Winchester ammo, it seems a dependable gun.

I also had a .22lr cz 99 precision a few years back now , it was an ok rifle well made good blueing and a nice walnut stock , accuracy wise it liked eley subs and was good to shoot out to 85 yards maybe with a better trigger it could of been better as was pretty stiff , but i would buy one again without a doubt.

Zastava make rifles for Remington. :D

I've heard that they shoot best with a Bushnell 3200 3-9x50 using 30cal 150g SP PPU :toast: . One of the best beast bashing combo's :boogy: .
