chapman,
That is a nice looking and interesting rifle, do you have any information about the chambering?

It is (poorly) not mine, so i have not an lot of info.

As far as i know it must be an straight shell in an range about 45 mm long. Because of the proof house stamp "6,4" i think it must be an 6,5x?.....
