What do I have here Hammerli from Germany

It looks like a Model 3 (also called Puma 496). A similar one is the Model 403, both of them side lever cocking. The rifle is .177 caliber. This one has target sights. The "F" inside the pentagram is a symbol that means in Germany it is free to own without a licence. The power level is therefore 7.5 Joules or less, which means about 5.5 foot pounds and less. A .177 pellet weighing 8 grains at 560 fps yields 7.55 J or 5.57 foot pounds of energy.

It's a competition air rifle from a while ago. Can't speak for it's accuracy now but it would have been a one-holer from a rest at 10 m when new. Nearly anything by Hammerli is accurate (like my 104 free pistol)
