this is a pre WW 1 single shot in 8,15x46R but if you look for the action its a M 88 without the magazine https://www.hermann-historica.de/en/auctions/lot/id/1223573

8x57m/m Mauser cal.; 5 rnd. integral mag.; 24” octagonal barrel with vg. bore & strongly defined rifling, some superficial frosting in grooves; strong blued finish to barrel, some finely speckled staining; vivid case colours to action & mag., 70%+ remaining, brown patina in worn areas; lhs of barrel marked with British BNP nitro reproofs, 2.67 9 GBP/ St. m. G. marked to lhs of breech; spoon handled bolt cycles butter smooth, double set triggers are crisp; fixed rear sight with folding lead & blade front on ramp; sling swivels; walnut stock with cheek piece & bag style grip in vg. cond., some minor handling marks overall; chequering to grip sharply defined; steel buttplate; overall in exc. wo & near exc. cond. #S15860 L/R

I have that same Haenel rifle. It's simply a delight.
