Info please?

bamafan
I acquired this through a trade the other day. The caliber is 6.5 x 55. What kind of bolt acton is this referred to as? Is it a reliable one? Also, who is the maker of this gun? All I can see of the first name is "Carl". The last five letters of the middle name is "stads". And the first four letters of the last name is "Geva". The scope is already sighted in, and I don't want to take it off just to see the name on it. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

    Yup, Swedish Mauser, likely late 60's. Nice gun.

    This is what it looks like under the mount, your date stamp may vary.

    Thanks for all the info you all have posted. Especially the link you posted bama55. The link mentioned a brass piece inlayed in the butt stock of the gun. Mine does not have that. Guess the stock has been replaced? It also mentioned the barrel band about halfway of the barrel. Mine does not have that either.

    Any ideas to these variations?

    You have a replacement sporter stock.

    This is what it looked like in full military dress, yours has a sporter stock on it.

    This the stock disc, it indicates the bore condition at the time it was inspected.

    For a translation on the stock disc markings.

    Thanks again for all the info. So, does the value go down b/c of the stock being replaced with the sporter stock?

    What kind of accuracy and range should I expect from this gun?

    As with any sporterized military rifle, value goes down.

    Also, the bolt has been turned down.

    I'm not knocking your rifle, still a fine weapon.
