The close-up picture of the gun's action on the right side is the only decent one I could find for this rifle, the first variant using that specific model number.
The other pic showing a full length rifle with a scope mounted and a sling is the second variant-- slightly later production but using the same name & model number.

Given the lack of online photographs that match the specific model I posted above, I'll take any answer that lists the rife's brand / manufacturer -regardless of the name given to the gun or its model number designation (which has changed over the decades.)
Hint:
The picture I used that shows the close-up of the action dates to the early 1990s.

It looks a lot like a JP Sauer and Sohn
Interarms imported Mauser 30 06 or Mark X
If this is what a commercial Mauser-based sporter rifle imported by Interarms looks like:
Then no, it's not a match. Close, but no cigar.
If this image is the kind of Interarms Mark X rifle you were referring to:
It's not right. The above rifles are too close in design to the military Mausers, especially with regard to the back of the bolt,
and the wide-open top where the receiver seems just about as low on the left side of the closed bolt as it is on the right.
The rifle I'm thinking of may indeed have some elements of a Mauser in it, and the company that built it / branded it did make Mausers for military service back in the day, but what I posted is a bit more removed from the WWI and WWII Mausers we're all familiar with. The design was tweaked quite a bit by the early 1990s, for this company's then-latest offering.

I've looked at several rifles from J.P. Sauer
Colt Sauer,
and Sauer and Sohn.
I'm not finding a match, though obviously these are all tweaks and mods from the same basic design that probably goes back 120 years.
Here, for example, is a Sauer model 80.
The safety and magazine floorplate release is different.
I didn't think it was a Sauer but very similar. It is a familiar design but I cannot put my finger on it.
