I was asked to finish this project. It was a Schuetzen that was started by the late Dr. Brewer. forearm was a 3x3 rough cut block with a barrel channel. Stock was huge with the arm hook. caliber was an unknown 8mm wildcat of Doc's. I cut the wood down to a sporter, rebarreled and chambered in 30-40 krag. Still dont know what the make of the action is. Maybe someone on this sight knows. Thanks

Looks like it may be a Hagn. Highly regarded and made in Canada. Do a search for Martini Gun Makers of Canada.

Made by Rice Barrel Co when in Fairview NC. Also known as L&R lock company. Not many were made. Best avenue for information would be to contact Jason at Rice barrel company.

Any serial number on it? Did it look like it was made from a casting?

i am not sure but there was a gentleman who came to Raton with a new rifle he had made, it was a 38-55. i think he said it was fom somewhere back east but i dont remember where. 
i shot it and it was very smooth . never saw or heard more about. His question to me was would something like that appeal to Schuetzen.
