They’re fun and engaging recreational shooting options for everyone. In some ways theyre easier and less intimidating instructional tools for kids, some female, or new shooters. The Serbian-made Zastava Z5 Youth gun is just such a rifle. Formerly imported by Charles Daley, Interarms, and then marketed by Remington Model Five (version shown and discussed here), this little .22 bolt gun fun and fast. Bolt lift is only 60º and the action is smooth. Trigger out of the box is a bit stagey buy as shown can be easily improved using factory adjustment screws. Current versions wear a press checkered laminated stock but other hardwood versions, like this one, have been issued. This stock is diminuitive for the smaller shooter and features 12 3/8″ length of pull (vs 13 3/8″ for adult Z5 model). Weighing only 5 ½ lbs (6 lbs with laminated stocks), the Rem Five/Z5 is quick into action and won’t weigh down the new shooter (as long as you dont mount a heavy optic!). The bluing in this model is superb: high gloss and smooth. The Z5 comes with a 5 round magazine with is a bit thumb busting but ruggedly built. These magazines are not readily available but currently can be had from USSG Inc directly for around . Having more with make your shooting sessions a bit funner. But the Z5 can also function as a single shot with the included single shot adaptor (may be optional on some models), thus teaching the new shooter ammunition conservation and …
Takes me? back to the days of my dad teaching me to shoot.

I just found one of these Model Five’s at Cabelas. I picked it up right away. It is not the youth model, but the one with the dark brown laminate stock. It will be for my son’s first gun. I put about 10 rounds though? it and love it! BTW- I paid $175 and is why I snagged it right away. It is in excellent condition - not in box condition only because it was not new. Thanks for this and all your other reviews. I think he will love this gun (his bday present).

Major point of why all Zastava Kragujevac arms are so good and of excellent quality is that the same factory produces military grade weapons. So basically you have military engineers and best quality? staff making the weapons for civillian use as well as military. This makes Zastava so famous with its arms proven military techniques are applied to civillian products.
@jackalofigjam Because that is Veri, TNP secretary replying on nutnfancys youtube.?
Nutnfancy can you make a Review of Zastava EZ9 or Zastava CZ999… A lot of people don’t know that these guns are not made by CZ (Czech Republic guns) they are made in Zastava factory (in Serbia), the gun is bulletproof, 100 percent reliable. in Serbia it is used by the military and police. You can throw it in the dirt you can throw it into the snow sand or water? and it will still work perfectly… Price varies but it is around 450$.. please reply

Great review. I picked the Remy? Model Five Youth over a semi-auto for just about every point you made in your review.My dad said “This is how they made them back in MY day.” I have a Nikon Pro staff 4 x32 on top of mine. The thing is heavy enough now that there is only a slight vibration when fired. I haven’t gotten around to actually sighting it in yet.
