Nice rifle, but not original. The bolt stem looks as though it has been rounded, the bolt handle has been modified (thinned and bent or replaced) The rear bridge has been stippled and the guide (hump) for stripper clips has been ground flat? In my mind this all spells previously mounted scope bases and modification of bolt to clear the scope, and modifications (stippling of rear bridge) to cover up the fact. Just my opinion.
