Yugoslavian Mauser bolt action junk?

[aka108]

I purchased several Yugo's from Springfield Sporters years ago. They were just about new in condition, all matching numbers. Stocks had a few dings. They shot very well. Sold them and a lot of my collection in the last few years. Very far from being junk.

I've got a Yugo 24/47 that is a solid rifle, and even with the monster front sight, shoots very well. I think it was about $140 with my C&R a few years ago. I considered bending the bolt handle when I got it, as I'm not a huge fan of the straight bolt handle, but after a lot of shooting, I've gotten used to it. Yugo 8mm ammo is also some of the cheapest, most available ammo around right now, so as someone earlier stated I can spend more time at the range (until my shoulder gets sore, anyway ).
