Zastava Interarms Mark X vs Remington 798?

[jpr9954]

Given that the Interarms Mark X and Remington 798 both have their origins in actions from Zastava, how do they compare? Is there much difference between the two?

Would the Whitworth versions of the Mark X have better wood and better fitting than other versions?

The question about the overpriced Remington 798 is what has spurred my interest. I see both rifles in .375 H&H and I like the fact that they'd have the Mauser CRF.

I recently purchased an Interarms Mark X chambered in .375 H&H. The rifle was as new. Bolt face clean and unmarked, deep blue finish and very nice wood.
I attempted to mount a Zeiss using Tally mounts but could not align the rings using centers. I then brought it to a Mauser specialist at one of the larger gunsmith operations in CT. He studied the Iphone photos of the centers mounted in the rings, and declared he will make it work....
A week later he told me the only feasible repair is to weld the rear scope base holes closed and then re-drill.
I declined the repair and bought an older M70.
