Recently acquired an M76 Yugo in 8 Mauser. Just like the one The ATF called back from me in 1975. This one has an American made receiver with no safety sear hole. . Finest "designated Marksman rifle" I have experienced. 922 compliant with original optics. Function and accuracy excellent. Regards Gary
More info if you get a chance, please! Haven't gotten to utilize one, but I keep hoping one will show up locally.
I was deeply impressed with the first one I had in 2002. The one I have now performs as the first one. Recoil is mild. This when shooting a 198 gr. cartridge. Target reacquisition is fast and positive. Formidable rifle. Optics are well balanced. Don't need the IR feature however. GaryQuote:

The ATF allowed the import of the M76 in 2002. I bought one from SOG. In 2005 the ATF determined these rifles although always semi auto had a safety sear hole in the receiver. They recalled them. I got my money back but missed the rifle. Same thing happened later with the Romanian "PSL" . I was not involved with that. Just part of the hobby. garyQuote:

The dealers like SOG have them in stock for between $1100 and $1200. Look around on the internet and you can find them a lot cheaper then your local dealer.
Thanks Bruce. One day I might want to get me one. Right now I have a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 PU Sniper on layaway.
