(8 x 60 Will not chamber, but 8 x 57 will. Upon removing metal from wood it is evident that the barrel has been turned back to accept the 8 x 57 cartridge. Identical nomenclature and SN is also stamped under the barrel, leading one to believe that this conversion was done at the factory. Remember this rifle was made at a time when it was illegal in Germany to own a firearm in a military cartridge, perhaps this being the reason for the barrel being restamped w/ old caliber.)

N.” on left side. Spoon handled bolt has BU proofs, and matching SN. Bottom metal has hinged floor plate w/ lever release, and rifle is fitted w/ double set triggers.

It is interesting to note that although the action has a solid side wall, the stock is cut for older type thumb slot. Matching SN is stamped in bbl channel of stock. Weight: 7 lbs. 3 oz. Weight w/ scope: 8 lbs. Scope is a Zeiss Diatal – Z 4 X 32 rail mount w/ cross hair and post reticle. This scope is fitted w/ correctly filed see-through replacement bases numbered to rifle.
