| Ermagherd, 10 Mirrimerter!  |
Picked this up at a pawn shop a couple months ago, was gonna make it my beater deer rifle but didn’t get to hunt this year. It’s an older Mark X action, just a large ring Mauser with a side safety. Someone added an air gauged premium Douglas barrel in 6mm Rem, one of my favorite cartridges. It had an older varix2 compact 4-12 Leupold on it, but the scope covers hid the gold ring, not sure they knew what it was. Bought the whole rig for $300 plus tax. Douglas is right down the road from me, that barrel finished and installed is $500. The stock looks kinda cheap, but is pretty stiff, and someone full length bedded it. Depending on how it shoots, I may leave the stock alone, that’s about the only thing I’d change out on this one. A nice grey MCmillon would look sharp though. Trigger is crisp and around 2-2.5 lbs. it looks like the factory adjustable trigger.      I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | ||

Wait, what? |
That is a smoking deal before the scope. These are quality rifles. I had a Mark X Mini-Mauser in .223 years ago that I wished I had never parted with. With quality ammo, you I repeatedly cover groups with a dime at 100 yards. I imagine that Douglas barrel shoots like a dream. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Not sure how they currently mark them. A friend of mines son in law works there, I’m sure he will know who built it about when. I do know they usually put their initials or something on the under side of the actions. There is a gun show coming up and a couple of the Douglas guys usually show up.

That's an awesome looking rifle and you basically stole it and the scope was basically free. Freedom Is Not Free And Is Paid For By Our Military. VFW Member NRA Life Member 042722999 SWCA | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
I have a Mark X that started out as a 30-06, but I had it rebuilt about 25 years ago as a 35 Whelen with a Shaw barrel. Great action! Great rifle!

Heck of a deal looks good as is to me. The 6mm Rem always seem to shoot well don't see them much anymore. I still have an old Remington 788 in 6mm rem. | |||

That's a steal! Nice buy. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Well.....I think you overpaid for the scope, but the free rifle is AWESOME.  | |||
