They used to sell either just the actions or just the actions with a barrel in your choice of long or short action calibers. I spoke with a gentleman who was shooting the White Buffalo as well and he was also using an Interarms Mark X as well. It's rifles like yours that always left me thinking that Zastava could give CZ a run for its money someday within the foreseeable future. You have a beautiful rifle, but some of their cheaper 'fun', self-branded bolt actions were.imperfect in a few ways.

I'd love to know if all of the metal work on the Interarms was done by Zastava or there was some 'cleanup' work done in either the UK or US. I have them work the bolt and try it again and the second time they're very careful and then they say, 'Wow!' 30-06 snap cap in the chamber and let people try pulling the rear trigger first to set the front trigger and, every time, they pull the front trigger accidentally.not realizing how light it really is. The front trigger measures 14 ounces on my Lyman digital trigger pull gauge. Lots of people checked it out and everyone comes away impressed. I know these Interarms Mark X rifles are terrific guns. So on a non-windy morning, it takes 5 seconds after the shot to hear, 'Gonnnnng!' It takes 2 1/2 seconds for the bullet to travel 1123 yards and then another 1 1/2 seconds for the sound of the steel getting hit to come back. I could still see the buffalo in the lower portion of my vintage Weaver scope, so keeping the vertical crosshair properly positioned was easy. He looked up my Hornady factory load on his iPad and told me to hold a certain distance above the White Buffalo.about 7 feet high. Here is me on the left and 'the other fellow' on the right spotting for me. Here is a closer up version through another fellow's scope: But the really interesting one is the steel outline of a buffalo (painted white) that is wayyyy out there. This particular range has steel falling targets and swingers at long distances. All kinds of ranges for all kinds of shooting. The NRA Whittington Center is a shooter's dream. I really wanted to try shooting this neat older rifle at the White Buffalo. Here's the Mark X next to my custom Ruger 10/22 Takedown with an International stock (yep, you can tell I like these long stocks!): I was excited to bring this rifle with me to the Shootists Holiday at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, NM. The blue is deep and lustrous and the stocks are handsome, made the way the old Mannlichers were made. The actions were fitted to barrels and then sent to Manchester England for stocks and final finishing. They're known for superior quality in forged steel and fit and finish.

These rifles' actions were made on original German Mauser machinery in Yugoslavia by Zastava.

I sighted it in at 100 yards with factory Hornady Superformance 150 grain. I think it matches the vintage mid-1970s of the rifle very well. I found a matching vintage mid-1970s blued steel Weaver, Made in the USA, 3-9x38mm scope with nice thin crosshairs on Ebay for $99. I removed it, but the blued rings were terrific. When the Mark X arrived, it had an older Tasco illuminated scope mounted on top. The price was an opening bid of $995 and no one else bid so I got it for that price. Then a month and a half ago I found one with all three extra features in. 270 which would be another caliber for me to stock.

It had the full length stock and the butter knife bolt handle, but not the double set triggers. Over a year ago I saw an Interarms Mark X at a local gun store. I had to sell it after he passed away to raise money for my mom. My dad had a Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer 6.5x54 bolt action rifle with the full length stock, the butter knife bolt handle, and the double set triggers.
