Remington still selling the 798?
« on: January 01, 2010, 06:43:21 PM »
Is remington still seling the 798/799 or is someone else importing this gun now?   I don't see it on their web site anymore.   Its the same gun that used to be sold under the Charles Daily name.  I saw on on the used rack at Cabela's for $379 it appeared to never have had a scope mounted.

I believe they are not selling them anymore.  About this time last year Cabela's started dumping them on the market very cheap.  I'm sure many were picked up and never even taken out of the box. 

Too bad, I thought it was a cool rifle... never shot one though...

United States Sporting Goods. They also handle the Witness pistols under EUropean American Armory or EAA.

MidwayUSA will soon be carrying complete Zastava-made commercial mauser actions.  I stumbled across the listings for them the other day.  If only they would build the left-hand actions that they prototyped a few years ago...

If the Zastava actions come at an affordable price that woud be great.  Most of the time the actions cost as much as a complete rifle.

The short and long actions (standard bolt face) are $279, long action (magnum bolt face), $299, magnum length action $399.  All-in-all pretty reasonably priced.  Counting what it costs to sporterize a milsurp action, these appear to me to be a pretty good deal.
