Looking again at the pics, I see that the 'scope is marked 'Kurt Jaeger, Mainz'
The work overall,,the engraving, the wood carving & checkering style, etc looks a lot like what his shop produced in the years after WW2 for GI's stationed in Germany.
They also did work for shops in the USA like Pachmyr.
That deer on the floorplate looked very familiar to me when enlarged.
So looking around for other examples from their shop, it wasn't hard to find some that were very similar.
Here's one:
