That is a 1908 Mauser action I purchased from Mule Deer.
It currently has a McGowen #1 , 1/7.7twist in 220 swift. Maple stock, blind mag, Timney trigger.
The stock is kinda cool it has some spalting.

White Bird and James Anderson consistently post some of my favorite rifles here. That Ottmar is outstanding.

That said, you’ve posted some of my favorites as well.

Great pics, all! Thanks!

Sorry, just saw your inquiry, 50.

This rifle walked into shop one day with older gent. It was wearing a really schitty Bell & Carlson syn stock and a 3x9 Redfield Tracker. He wanted it cleaned up as he was thinking of selling it. So we took it in for a C & C. Said his dad brought it back from Europe at war’s end and it was in some 6.5 ctg they could not find ammo for. So , "his dad sent it to Winchester” and they fitted it with a model 70 bbl in 30/06!
Well I told him I was a bit skeptical that Winchester did the work, but whoever put the bbl on did very good work.
( bbl dated 1957).

Ok he sold shop rifle (eventually). And he came back up to thank us for helping him. In passing I say, "too bad you dont have all the old stock and stuff they took off the rifle." He say, oh, I still have everything except the old barrel. I say "really???”

I end up buying rifle. He brings in all the old stuff. Stock, claw mount bases, original Mauser buttplate. Etc. I restore it to best original condition I can. Best I can tell is it was an Oberndorf B sporter with a butterknife bolt. I speculate the 6.5 ctg (if it really was a 6.5 to begin with) was possibly the 6.5 x 58(?) Mauser ctg.

I stuck the Lyman 48 on one slow day at the shop. This is the best uneducated guess I can come up with on the speculative history of this rifle. It was a factory rifle no doubt. Would love ve to hear other speculation.

That is one cool old rifle.

Yeah, doubt Winchester did that work, more like a smith fitting a take off M-70 barrel to this action.

Bet it's a decent shooter.
