Version 5 (notice scope almost touching wood)
http://www.mycity-military.com/imgs/19918_77748410_IMG_3786.jpg
Current version is supposed to be 7 or now 8.
Possibly they could be ok however latest batches of commercial rifles (m90 and hunting rifles) are not all that spectacular. On Serbian forums there are people dissing it supposedly having problems with magazine falling out, poor optics, and barrel problems, not enough clearance from optics to woodwork which would swell when damp and move optics!!!... Some problems may have been fixed though. I think problem is finance and quality control as financing production seems to be the problem for them (their golden years were in 1970s and pretty much ended in 80s). They also have strange business practices. We've had problems importing/buying their weapons due to their lack of interest (why is that i have no clue - maybe they got enough sales and orders dunno 1st hand). Here in Slovenia there are still plenty of older people who swear by CZ (Crvena Zastava) products and are in the market for those (mainly M59/66, M76 and newer hunting rifles and M90s) but they are really scarce (most of the surplus ones come from Italy) and if we get a batch (once per year tops) of new ones they cost somewhere around 800€ which is more expensive than FAL for example.
But it would be really interesting if someone actually made a test/review of this rifle or that in 7,62NATO. Most of the stuff was taken from Serbian forums and as shooting scene in this part of Europe is not very lively i have no credible contacts to check that information.

Re: Zastava M98 Black arrow
I'll go ahead and start off saying I've got zero experiance with them but if I recall correctly the general impression of folks when they first hit the US market a few years ago was that they weren't that remarkable and there were better rifles out there for the same price range.
If you're not in a rush I'd recomend waiting on the DTA HTI.

Starvin,
I've been following that rifle, However I highly doubt it will be in the 4-4500 dollar range the 50bmg black arrow is. More like 5-6k range
