	Jager We know that Moody's rifle was rechambered because the proof marks show that it was originally a 8.15X46R and we are told that a 30-30 will chamber. A 30-30 won't chamber in a 8.15X46R chamber without sizing. It was also probably rechambered outside of Germany, as it hasn't undergone a re-proof and probably in 32 Win Sp as this is the most commonly encountered rechambering for the 8.15X46R Moody It's probably not chambered for the 30-30, as the .308" bullets would rattle down the bore. A chamber cast is the best way to see what you have. You could also fire form a 30-30 case and it wouldn't be a surprise, if it looked like a 32 Win Sp. I think that the 32 Win. Sp is the next size up, to clean up a bad 8.15X46R chamber. Yamoon Your stalking rifle looks like a true falling block. Yes? My rifle is closer to a tilting block. Maybe Moody will tell us if the block in his rifle tilts or is a true falling block. Otto

Good comment about the variety of actions built by German and Austrian gun makers. Mike is correct that the rifle could have been rechambered. I have seen several rifles that were rechambered from 8x46R. A chamber cast is the easiest was to check & verify the current chamber cartridge. All, some very nice looking rifles with interesting actions.

	There were a number of actions made like this targeted at the custom makers. I don't think there is a specific maker they can be ascribed to.

	If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

	Someone designed it and someone manufactured it. Or like others manufactured by a number of makers or manufacturers.
