I just picked myself up a Schuetzen single shot.
200 meter target rifle.
8.15 x 46r
Oddley enough it does not have a maker's name anywhere.
Reloading dies are more or less off the shelf and the brass cases can be made from once sized 30-30 Winchester.
Cheap and simple.
Sadly this gun did not come with the rear sight, but I know where to venture to find one.
Many of these rifles were brought back to the USA at the end of World War II by returning soldiers.
In case anyone is wondering, my mother's mom is from Germany and my mother's father is from Austria.
One side originally immigrated in the 1750s to the USA, served in the American Revolution, descendants moved to Saskatchewan late 1800's and the other side immigrated around 1906 from Europe to the Melville, Saskatchewan area.
So I guess I can safely say, it's a little bit in my bloodline!
