Picked it up yesterday after the initial lost FOID hiccup (see my "Denied" post). Card went through after the ISPD released the hold on the card and I finally got to bring the rifle home after the 72 Hr. waiting period.
It's a 1971 Interarms Mark X in .270 made by Zestava Arms in the former Czech Republic. I was so wowed by the rifle's condition when I bought it, I thought it had a period correct 4X fixed Redfield Widefield because the objective was smaller than today's 40mm norm. It turns out it is a vintage 3-9 variable Widefield in like new condition. The optics appear crystal clear so I will just shoot it that way for now.
