Can anyone tell me more about this rifle. It appears to be a
.22 cal german made bolt action rifle. On the side of the barrel
reads, KAL.22 LANG FUR BUCHSEN 237***. On the top of barrel in
front of the bolt reads, GUSTLOFF-NERKE, under that reads,
Waffenwerk-Suhl, on the right side reads, K.K. WEHRSPORTGEWEHR.
the rifle looks like it as only been fired a few time, otherwise
looks brand new. Can anyone give me more information, thank you

  Your "brand new" rifle is almost 70 years old. It was made as a military training rifle from the mid to late 30's. This was after the Germans repudiated the Treaty of Versailles and started gearing up for war.
  
  "K. K." means Kleinkaliber., Gustloff-Werke of Suhl was just one of the manufacturers, many others made the similar pattern rifles.
  
  If you rifle is factory original in the condition you describe, it's worth some bucks.

  What kind of price range do you think this rifle is worth? It is a single shell bolt action.No magazine. In 45 seconds, loading each round manually, I could shoot 10 rounds at a target about 12", 10 out of 10 times twice. About 60 yards out. Can you use any other load than a .22 long rifle?

  You could shoot .22 shorts or longs, but why? They are more expensive than long rifles these days.
  There might be a use for CB caps though.
  Not .22 Magnum.
