	It's either late Hepburn or early model 30 Remington.

	Hepburn was my first reaction however it doesn't match the Hepburns I have now. I don't have the Hepburn book (something I need to acquire) so can not be certain that it is not featured on one or more types.

	Hepburn. I don't know why I always think a Hepburn and model 30 Remington are similar. They're not at all similar. Below is a picture of the buttplate on my late Hepburn.

	You have the start of a nice Hepburn now. Just need a few parts.

	I've started projects before with just one part. Makes things fun going to gun shows looking for pieces needed. Flatlander

	The 1899 Remington-Lee bolt action also used that buttplate.

	Willsweptline I can still remember going to the big shows at CalExpo in Sacramento Ca. back in the early 70's. God only knows how many nice Schuetzen rifles I saw and then walked by. At the time most just did not have interest in them including myself and they were actually very reasonable because most did not have any interest in those very odd looking rifles. Same pretty much also holds true for Unertl, Lyman's and Fecker scopes and all in abundance.
