I don't know the supply situation in the USA, but they are the only 'action' available here in Australia for building this kind of rifle.
I own two Mini Mark X Mauser / Zastava m85 and neither are going anywhere.
BUT....
If I were doing it again, I would choose the Howa Mini in a heartbeat and pay to have someone make a flush fitting bottom metal and modify a High Tech stock to suit. The c.1990 Mark X and the 2010 Zastava m85 might be the same action, but the quality of fit and finish are quite different with newer not being better.
