popplecop,
The Sauer Tell rifle Raimey mentioned is not the same as texasjacks rifle, but is similar and chambered for similar cartridges(30-30 headsize & smaller).I believe Simpson Ltd. has a Tell for sale now, look under "Long guns"and then "other Manufacturers".
If anyone is interested, there is an article about 8.15x46R in "WAIDMANNSHEIL", one of the German Gun Collectors Assn.publications.
Texasjack
I reccomend you make or have someone make a chamber cast. The 8.15x46R is one of those rifles that seem to have been rechambered very often, sometimes to cartridges that may damage the rifle.Skeetx is right about this being a "fun" cartridge.
