I picked up a cool little M95 today. It has a 308 stamped next to the name on the barrel so I will for sure cast the chamber. I will be suprised if it is chambered in .308.

Beautiful. I've always admired those 95 sporters. I would be glad if it was still in 8x50R. I had a Lee sporter in that caliber. Brits considered it better than a .303 because it used a heavier bullet. It was a great shooter. Wish I still had it.

Does it looked to be lined or the like? Most difficult to discern from the few mixed touchmarks, but it appears that the tube began in Ferlach, or similar, as a 15.8mm tube? Then there may have been some German intervention in March of 1943? There look to be additional German marks on the side of the receiver?

I like that acorn bolt handle.

Cheers,

I will look a little closer tonight for anymore proofs and if I can tell it it has been lined.

Friedrich Ogris, St. Margarethen bei Ferlach. According to my notes active from c. 1910 to c. 1940.
Ferlach proof March 1943.
Caliber 8x50R or 8x60R; likely the former as "5" is struck deeper.

Cheers,
Jani

R Marshall,
See my comments in the GGCA forum. I didn't think about the rimmed version of 8x60, but I don't know if an 8x50R extractor will hold it either.

P.S.:

15.8 (...) g MG = 15.8 gramm Mantelgeschoss = 244 grains jacketed bullet. This is standard bullet weight for 8x50R.

Cheers,
Jani
