  When you say "straight bolt" I presume you mean the bolt handle isn't bent, and that the gun is not a straight pull rifle. Sounds like you have an 8mm Lebel rifle. Standard French rifle from 1886 through the 1920's, still used in WW2. In good shape with Tubular Mag you could probably get $200 or so, $300 in VG shape. So they tell me, anyhow.
