7x57mmWhat is it worth?
A friend is trying to sell one of his rifles and needs to know about what to ask for the thing. He said he bought it 30 years ago. It is marked Czech Mauser Mark X in .243 Winchester and has a Mark X 4x40 original scope on it. He said the barrel is not a target barrel, but it is quite a bit heavier than a sporter-weight barrel. The barrel is 24 inches long. Walnut stock of course and I do not know about any handling marks or anything like that. He said he has shot it about 200 times since he bought it. He said the blueing is very good, but I cannot pin him down on what very good means, so I will interject about a 95 percent here. Thanks for any help. Tom Purdom

AtkinsonIts an old Mark 10, I would offer him $300 for it and go up to maybe $350-$375 at the most, but I would want inspection privi as I also don't know what his description means..The scope is worth zilch IMO...
