I would say yes - kurz action and 8x51

Agree 100%

First, Kurz actions are all small ring (except one identified in Speed’s book)
Also, look at the thumb cut in the left wall, it is almost as long as the rest of the wall - about half the length of the left side of the action wall.
The floor plate release lever is more than half the length of the floor plate.
These things are the most obvious visual features that are easy to differentiate a Kurz from a standard length action.

Agreed.

But stock description is a bit off the mark...

Quote:

Monte Carlo style stock

Not in line with my understanding of such a style!
Buttstock design appears to be standard Type B but the whole stock appears to be perhaps a tad shorter,
with horn (or ebony?) tip like a Type A, but with a mild schnabel reminiscent of Type B.
Interesting mix...

I like it!

Yes, and they describe it as a "custom" rifle which it really is not. An indication they don't really know what it is.

I still wonder about the 7.9KP caliber marking.

Agree the overall gun is nice looking!
