Picked up another new one today! A Husqvarna rolling block sporting rifle, with full length Gemmer style stocks. .38-55 caliber, with a super bore!

That is a very good looking rifle. You have a Husqvarna model 33 commercial fullstock rolling block rifle. You should be aware that Husqvarna never factory chambered these guns in any US standard chamberings - they were all metric. I would recommend a chamber cast to determine the correct cartridge unless you know for a fact that the gun has been rechambered/rebored for .38-55.

If you ever decide to sell it, please put me first in line.

It's actually (technically) a 33A, as the 33 was straight grip, and the 33A is pistol gripped. Yes, it's the old 9.3x57R that had the rim recut to .38-55 so std. .38-55 brass can be fired in it by seating the bullets out a bit to touch the rifling.
It shoots under 2" at 100 yds. with .375" cast lead bullets.
Thanks!-Vall
