It is a single shot after all

This single shot just showed up today.  It will be a Christmas gift for my son.  The auction site indicated a Winchester model 70 stock.  It has a windage and elevation adjustable rear sight.  There is also a safety.   
What do you think it is?

I will post a full photo later

Westerner can’t guess either. Not sure if I told winchesterguy (formerly known as Marlinguy).  If I did he is out as well

funny looking rifling, is that a half bore Jack? Diamond or square bullets?  It's novel.

Nothing in rules excludes it if you cast the bolt tip. IMO.    Question is, what caliber?

Cross bows is where our tang & receiver sights came from.  Did this one come with a cocking lever?

No cocking lever.  That is why my son is getting it. Plus he likes stuff like this.  He can probably use a cocking rope. 
No ammo yet.  It was one of those "I'll just bid one last time" purchases.
