Igorrock: In the RIA item description of the Karl Kormes rifle, it says that the "caliber is partially mismarked, reads 6x68s". This is the reason I suspect it is a 6.5x68s. I hope this clears up my statement.
The "6" maybe an "8" stamp, applied at an oblique angle.
Yeah, my guess is a mis-stamped "8" especially if that is read on the barrel.
Still, what a great rifle to get your hands on!
