This is an Interarms Mini Mark -X rifle chambered in .223 .According to the date code on the right rear reciever ring this one was made in June of  1987
Interarms stopped importing them in 1992. Not many of these for sale ..

The gun looks great for being 30 years old. Its got a 20" barrel and weighs 6lbs 4ounces.All steel and walnut.
The metal is in 98% condition with no rust and the stock is 98% as well save for a few storage dings. The stock is medium dark walnut with a 13.75" LOP.The stock has a high Monte Carlo cheekrest for a good cheek weld with a scope .The factory sights are also present and there is also a one peice Weaver mount on the gun.

It feeds and function fine .The action is nice and smooth with a crisp 2.5lb pull. The barrel has an bright bore and the gun shoots very well. Just over 1" for three shots @100 with cheap Federal 55g FMJ and about  .75" with the Win 45g HP factory stuff and Federal AE 50G HP. The gun is consistently putting two of three shots under 1/2" apart in every group. It should be no trick to get this rifle to shoot half in or under for three shots with some refined handloads.


My price is $450 shipped from my FFL to yours. US Postal MO as payment. Thanks!

These were all 1-12" twist . And judging by the others I have used seem to shoot most bullets up to 62g just fine.

Man what a classy looking rifle! That is the Mauser action, correct? I may have to check the piggy bank to see if I can swing this. Does the stock have the original finish on it? is that a factory recoil pad?

Joe.

Actually the action on these is not a true Mauser but almost an exact copy of the old Sako Vixen L461 rifles.

The triggers are the fully adjustable FN style Mauser triggers also used on the m98 Mark -X.

Several $ 5k guild quality custom rugs gave been built by a few members of this forum using this action..It must be pretty decent.:)
