At the request of one of our members I went back to town and took the Rifle down off of the wall and inspected it.
It appears to me to be re-chambered to 300 H&H Magnum from an unknown caliber (no markings on barrel other that slightly crudely stamped 300 H&H!
The scope is a Burris 3x9 variable.
The counterman at the gunshop was so busy I could not get in a question before I had to leave.
Will try to learn the "history" of the Rifle soon.
Hold into the wind
