Oh, and I should add, because it might be of interest to you, that I first saw this model rifle in the Steyr Arms Museum which appends to the Steyr factory in Austria where this was presumably made, (they weren't sure). It was nicely mounted on the wall next to a Mannlicher Schonenauer 6,5x54 which it is such a close copy of that some of the parts look to be interchangeable, (trust me, I have one also). I did not think I would ever see one of these for sale in New Zealand and when I did, the deal was done on the spot. When I put it in a rifle vice at a small bore range, the tube shot one ragged hole at 25 measured yards. That is up there with the target rifles.

At first I didn't have a scope and just open sights which I had not checked. I'd had the rear sight off to tidy up a small amount of rust inside the dovetail so it was only put back approximate. I took it out hunting with a view of perhaps shooting a couple of pine cones or something. A hare was watching me from a distance, around 90m. I thought at that range I could drop a shot near him, and using the dust maybe calculate the offset for where the next shot needed to go. But more likely he'd run away. In the event, just one shot and he fell over dead! I'm not sure who was most surprised, him or me.
