It appears to be a very nice STRAIGHT PULL AUSTRIAN MANNLICHER it could be an m1886 or m1888 depending on large or small caliber. For info goto www.militaryrifles.com/IDWizard/IDWizard.htm

Model 1886 11x58 Austrian Mannlicher,I think

Beautiful! I've never seen one that nice! Could be 11x58, 8x50 or even 8x56. If it's 8x56, don't shoot it!

In case you didn't know, it's a ww1 era gun, either an 1886 or 1888 Mannlicher.

If it is an M.1888, it's pretty unusual to see one without the sideplates added to the sight to upgrade it to M.1888-90 specifications.

For interest, here's my M.1888-95 with an M.95-30.
