ARI ZASTAVA MP22 PREC 22M BA - Blue/Black, 22" Barrel, 5+1 Rounds, Wood, Fixed Stock

The transfer from Bud's was flawless. This rifle is a clone of a CZ 452 for half the price. The form, fit and function was excellent. The finish on the barrel and receiver was excellent. The only complaint I would have is that the stock is only seal coated, which is typical of long guns produced in Eastern Europe. There have been some media reports that the action of the rifle has some issues, especially in .22WMR. There is a failure to feed issue. I proofed the rifle at the range putting 100 rounds through with no issues. I experienced 4 inch groups at both 50 and 75 yards using only the iron sights. The iron sights are typical for European long guns and are adjustable at only the rear sight with a screw type adjustment. The trigger is adjustable with a three point system which can be difficult for the inexperienced gun owner/shooter. The trigger was smooth with a good break out of the box. I have applied additional sealant to the stock and am intending to mount a scope at a future date. This gun is an excellent choice for those who want a European long gun at more than a fair price.
