Mark 10 Mauser. I don't know who made them, no thumb groove and commercially sold actions and rifles. I have one on my .375/06IMP. It's an excellent M98 action, standard length.

just googled it- Interarms

https://www.google.ca/search?q=mark+10+m...4ylDozkjgTUw4pg

One of the posts on a different forum:

"They are made by Zastava, but the Interarms guns were much more highly finished than the Zastava's currently being imported as Remington 798's. I had one in 458 Win Mag and it was a slick gun and very accurate."

I must add to this - the Mark 10 Mauser actions are quite highly finished, like a Browning FN action.





Thanks Daryl,
I now see what kind of rifle You use.
It would be fine to have Mr Dorleac opinion. Personally I appreciate the Zasastava action. I am elated that it's not a K98 Mauser action that has been customized. Mr Dorleac could tell You how it could be difficult to pick up a good Mauser action. There were a myriad of actions made. The quality and the steel quality for example are variable and those made during war periods weren't made to the high standard one has to look for for big calibers. In Your case the Zastava action is quite modern and could be fully trusted. I agree with You that the finishing of the Zastava actions could be better. I think that Interarms have requirements specifications.
