The rear is a steel AL Freeland tube with no lenses. It has an adjustable aperture at the rear, and the mounts are external adjusting Unertl.... The tube is moves around in the same exact fashion as a vintage external adjustable scope. The front is just a large hooded globe that you swap out clear/colored discs with black rings.
AL Freeland sold his sight tubes with Unertl mounts.

Well played but unfortunately wrong answers.
Ok enough of mystery...
Its a Feinwerkbau Modell 2000. There is really not much infos about these rifles on the net.
I think they ended the production of this model around 1988 and they were selling for around 13-1400$.
Even on Google, there is only a couple and they don't wear the same stock as mine and they also don't have the gold engravings.
My guess would be a special run, honestly I don't know. My friend, who owned it for many years don't know more about this rifle.
Maybe I could send an email to Feinwerkbau and see if they have infos about this rifle,
Enough talking, pics will talk by themself...

Very nice rifle you have there Ben. These are not very common here since Feinwerkbau is mainly a airguns manufacturer. They did however diversified into small-bore rifles in the late 70's. The goal was to provide airguns and cartridge rifles with the same stock design to satisfy multi-discipline marksmen.
Their first small-bore cartridge rifle was the M2000 ISU Standard commonly known as the UIT Standard. Chambered for the .22LR cartridge it was 44.1" long, had a 26.35" barrel with 4-groove rifling and weighted 10.8lb with the micro-adjustable aperture rear and replacement-element tunnel front sights. The original stock design was based, and nearly identical to the LG300S Match L air rifle.
Now, what you have is the M2000 Junior. The M2000 Junior was a short-barreled lightweight version of the ISU Standard model. Yours was manufactured in 1979 (these were proofed by the same house with the same codes as Heckler & Koch firearms) and has the pre-1985 stepped underside to the forend, starting in 1985 the stock reverted to a short but straight design just before the introduction of the 2600 series in 1986-87. The M2000 Junior is 39.5" long and has a 22.05" lighter weight barrel, weight is 9.25lb with sights. These were manufactured for young competitors (under 14yrs old) that needed shorter and lighter rifles.
Both of these models have a fixed comb. Models with an adjustable comb were the M2000 ISU Universal and M2000 ISU Moving Target commonly known as "Modell UIT Laufende Scheibe" in Germany.
I've recently seen an example of the M2000 UIT Standard in Europe, it was priced at 450 euros in excellent condition complete with factory sights.
If you need more info, let me know.
Something a little low brow compared to the drooling caused by these guys.
Stevens Favorite, started life as a .25 rimfire. The bore was toasty so i installed a liner and made it a .22 rimfire, put on a Italian tang sight I had laying around.
Makes a nice little old school shooter
