Remington 798 & 799

Today I saw an ad for these new rifles.Anyone seen any testing or reviews on them?What kind of quality are they?
Why did Remington produce a Mauser action rifle? Just curious.

i think the reason they used the mauser action is because for many years the mauser action has been considered the best action ever built it bolt guns. thats what i ahve heard and saw for a long time in gun mags. and articles.

RE: Remington 798 & 799

could it be to take up some of the market that has been lost due to Winchester not making the 70 anymore??? If Rem makes it in Lefthand I would buy one!

Remington is not producing these rifles.Remington is importing these rifles from a Serbiancompany called Zastava.These rifleswere formerlysold under the Charles Daly brand name.

Remington seems to be on a "re badging" kick recently. First the Baikal shotguns and now these commercial Mausers.

Interesting. On the Remington website they say they "reworked" these rifles.

if you want a mauser-typeaction, i'd go for a CZ 550. but you might want to be quick, because the new 555 action will have a sako-style bolt face. god knows why they are changing a winning formula.
