I called Cabela"s The gun has German proofmarks. As to the cartridge, they are not sure. It's marked 12.6 over 70 on the barrel flats. Also something that may indicate 36 gr. of powder. The rifle is not heavy, a hair over 10 pounds.
36 grains of powder is a long way from a 500 Jeffery, 500 NE or any DG cartridge. Isn't 70mm around 2 3/4"?
