Interarms mark X

How good are the Interarms Mark X express rifles in 375 h&h and 458 win mag?

I bought mine in 1984 from Pachmayers in Los Angeles, very accurate and never given me any trouble, always think I would like to find a .458 and a &mm rem mag of the same models

I just purchased a 458 Win Mag Interarms Whitworth Express with a Brno CZ action. Somebody magnaported it but it fits me and points extremely well.

I took it to the range last night and it is extremely accurate. 1/4 inch off of the bull at 50 yards and 1 inch from bull at 100 with Federal Safari Premium 500 grain TSX off hand.

It is a very nice rifle not custom but for a factory sporter it is nice.

Sincerely,
Thomas

I own a few ranging from the original English proofed to the last few put together parts and pieces and they all with minor exceptions have shot well and held up to some serious abuse.
If you can find a Mark x express, they are sometimes better than the Whitworth Rifles.
I love taking 5 or 6 to the range and shooting all day without worrying about burning them up. Like shooting the same rifle (I do own a few other rifles) all day.
If you have one for sale or are unsure--- I WILL TAKE IT.

I purchased a Whitworth in .375 recently and I'm very pleased with it. Shoots straight, feeds everything I put in it and looks like someone who cared about what he was building put it together.

I'd give it four and a half

out of five.

But do follow George's advice and search this forum, I did before buying mine.

good catch fla; Crvena Zastava bought equipment from FN after WWII to make their mausers

MK Xs are some of the best (although a little rough) commercial mausers available; although fine out of the box, many end up with the local gunsmith to be tuned & upgraded with things like 3-psn safeties

Yes we can all search, but sometimes re starting a reasonable topic brings out new points of view, etc
