A local gun store has a used Interarms Mark X in .243 with the full length Mannlicher stock and a 3-9x40 Leupold scope mounted. It also has the factory front and rear iron sights. It's in excellent, like new condition. I remember these rifles in the Interarms catalog circa 1984-ish. I remember they were very well made (I think barreled in Serbia or Croatia?) and final assembly was in Manchester England and this is marked with that location. The blue is deep and beautiful and truly blue instead of black. The stock is a nice piece of wood and I just love full length Mannlicher stocks. The store has a trigger lock on it but I believe it's a single trigger and not a double set trigger. It looks all original and even an older polished black Leupold 3-9x40 scope is a good scope with mounts.
They're asking $695. I think I could get it for $549 cash. I don't really have a use for it, but I love the looks of the gun. Does anyone have any experience with one? I've heard they're very accurate. Again, any experience here? I have a Savage 114 .30-06 that's very handsome and my one bolt action.
What do others use their .243's for? Deer hunting and varmint hunting?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
