Determining Caliber - Mystery Rifle

It might be 6.5 x 55, but not likely Swedish. The bolt is totally wrong. Action appears to be small ring. Do a chamber case or check with a loaded cartridge. There were some less common loads in Mauser rifles. You need to be sure.

It could be a 6.5 x 57.
 
Just do a chamber cast.
I had a Chinese Mauser ( unsportered) that purportedly had 'Bad headspace'...flat primers after firing 8 x 57.
Anyone else have a light go on?
