The swept back bolt handle with the flattened and criss hatched underside of the knob, along with the "stair-stepped" safety button says Interarms Mark X, not FN, to me. I have two of them. It also appears to be a push feed action, although that could be an optical illusion caused by the photo light, and I don't think that would be possible as the Mark X was a true Mauser 98.

If I missed something, someone can let me know.

It says FN on the left side of the action and the long extractor and collar are easily seen in the larger pics. Be sure to look through all 10 pics and you should see these details.

Okay, thanks. The device I'm using leaves a lot to be desired.

Interesting read sight, I don't think I've seen something like that before.

Is that a milled full length barrel rib?

The FN rifles all had the bolt handle flattened on one side and grooved on that side.
 
I will look again but I am almost sure the rib and barrel are one piece. There is a ton of nice metal work on this rig for sure.
 
Very fair price especially with the great looking wood on that rifle. Somebody needs to buy it NOW!
 
I think that rifle is calling your name. It's looking for a new home in Colorado....!
Well, if I wasn't watching the election results coming in right now, I might have to consider it. I guess it depends on who wins? LOL

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
