I have no interest in this rifle for myself (doesn't tickle my fancy in any way) and I do not know who the seller is, but I do know there are plenty of folks around here who like these rifles. If that's you, go gitter.


Mark X Mannlicher in .243 Winchester

I have one of these in 7x57. Didn’t expect much from it, but it’s a tack driver with several loads. Didn’t pay that much for it, but wouldn’t sell it for that. Good guns

Very nice. I'm glad I don't need a .243.

Pretty dang good action for those that like the format.

The challenge with that particular style of Interarms Mark X mannlicher is that the butterknife style of bolt handle has a pretty high lift that requires a higher set of rings and the lower comb height of the classic style stock won't allow a shooter to get a good cheek weld. Or at least that has been my experience with them. Interarms made several different style of mannlicher stocked Mark Xs. Most of the style with the butterknife bolt handles have DSTs, while the rifle in the ad has a single trigger, so it might be a replacement.

I had no idea there were such ergonomic issues with that model...it wouldn't matter to me, though. I think everything about it as ugly as a baboon's ass. Different strokes for different folks.

I like to look at most mannlicher stocked rifles, but they are stalking rifles and, for me, need to come to the shoulder with proper eye alignment.

I have a few Interarms Mark X mannlichers, including 2 of that style on which I replaced the bolt handles with conventional units from Brownell's and the DSTs with Timneys.

If you've never handled a mannlicher stocked Husqvarna, you've missed out on a rifle that handles and points like an quail gun should.

Something about those man lickers just don't do it for me. Only man lickers that I like are lovely slim women.

Blu_Cs, I have one of the F/S Tangers in .308. The only Ruger I ever thought was elegant looking from the factory. It may get rebored by JES if I can get him to do it. To 358 Winchester. As this Interarms will if I get it. Sent the Seller a PM on his forum. Haven't received an answer yet. But gave him the data he needs. Be Well. Rusty
