I purchased this rifle the other week. It was built by Mauser Oberndorf in 1913. This rifle has no military proof marks. It has commercial marks on the receiver and bolt. I have never seen a servicemen's target rifle with a bent bolt before. It also looks like it was refurbished at one point. The rifle is chambered in 8.15x 46r. Now would anyone have any additional information about these types of Target rifles? I know these types of Target rifles existed after World War 1 or the Great War. Or was this rifle be considered a private purchase type rifle? Thank you.
