Interarms Mark X??

mossy33oak · 10-26-2005, 05:48 PM

A guy approached me at work today and asked if I'd be interested in his rifle he had for sale. He said it was an Interarms Mark X in 30-06 with the factory Bell-Carlson stock (camo) and a Simmons 4-12 x44 scope on it. I had to do some checking on Gunbroker just to see what one looked like, Ive never heard of them. Anyway he said he wanted $500 for it. Well, all of the guns on Gunbroker were around $400-500. I dont know, it seems like its not a super deal, but I was wondering how they shoot. I assume since they are using the Mauser 98 action with the control round feed that they SHOULD be a good shooter, any thoughts???????

Interarms Mark X (.308 Win)
By: The Gun Guy
September 8, 2003

Of all the many rifles made with a Mauser K98 action, the Mark X (imported by Interarms out of Yugoslavia) is one of the most interesting.
Available in almost any caliber, the Mark X (which, unhappily, is no longer manufactured) has a reputation for outstanding reliability and quality"”which, unfortunately, is generally reflected in its price.
Here is one, for example, which is for sale at Richard The Gunsmith"™s store, with "œMannlicher style and quality" written all over it:

Okay, this one makes me drool. It"™s chambered in .308 Win, has a lovely 20" barrel (almost a carbine length, in other words), and has the trademark Mannlicher "œbutterknife" bolt and full-length stock.
Did you notice the double "œset" trigger? (Draw the back trigger to "œset" the front, which will then release with only a 12oz. trigger pull.)
Included in the $1,100 price is a Leupold Vari-X III 1.75-6x32 scope (which alone costs well over $400 new).

The mauser 98 is now being imported by Charles Daly. I just picked one up for 459.00 in 300 win mag synthetic. Quality seems good, shoots 1 inch groups at 100 yards for three shots. I think the price is about $100 higher for superior grade (wood, high polish blue). People swear by that mauser action that build custom rifles.

I've owned two Mark X's both in 30-06. I bought the first one back in the early 80's for about $250 NIB if I remember correctly. The 2nd one I bought about ten years ago for $300 was used but in very good condition. I built my 338-06 on the first one and have long since traded the 2nd. They both were good shooters but not outstanding. I've never seen a Mark X with a factory camo stock; all the Mark X's that I have seen had high gloss wood stocks. IMO the Mark X is a very good hunting rifle but personally I think that $500 for a used one is a bit high.
