Hello, I am a new member to the forum looking for any help on identifying this rifle. I hope this is the correct subgroup.
My father has had this rifle since the early 1960s but does not know anything about it other than it is chambered in 8mm. He recently gave it to me and I would like to know more about it, including confirming if it is an original commercial factory sport Mauser.
The pictures may be hard to see, but it has a set trigger, claw type scope mounts, 1000 meter rear sight, mag bottom has the button press with bullet type release, rifle sling attachments, only proofs appear to be crowns over U and B, the number 7806 on the left side below the front scope mount, number 06 on the bolt release switch, on the bolt handle (with the same 2 proof marks again), on the thumb safety switch and on the rear of the bolt - and possibly other places I have not looked for yet. Has Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf a/n also on the left side of the barrel.
Happy to provide any other necessary info. Any assistance with any info on it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I was able to attach smaller pictures to post more of them, at the cost of reduced resolution.
