It's a Comblain action. Haven't seen one in a sporter configuration before. Most were military rifles of a South American flavor.

Y'all got it pretty quick... It is a Comblain....From the proof marks it's a civilian model not a military one. Gotta do a chamber cast to see what the cal. is Looks like an 8mm of some sorts.
Sights are Parker -Hale for a small martini...

looks like a Parker Hale PH7 or 7a rear sight and a fs22 globe target sight. And a rather nice Comblain rifle. Frank

I had a Comblain Rook Rifle in .360 Rook. It was like the full size Comblain, but at about 50-60% scale, and gorgeous wood, and checkering. Mine was Belgian made.

I have a Brazilian Comblain in 410 shotgun! Nice little rifle but stiff to operate.

From what I've read and been told, by the proof marks this one was built for export .

I wanted to build a sporter out of a military Comblain but never could find one that was suitable. Not many showed up for sale and when they did it appeared they were dragged behind a tank on the way home from battle. This one looks nicer than any I have seen.

Comblains are a tough action to find, but even tougher to make a good sporter from! The design of the action with it's lack of leverage on the lever makes it hard to open, even if cases extract easily. Get a sticky case and it gets worse fast! But an even larger issue is the trigger pull is pretty stout, and not easy to reduce much! It can be lightened slightly, but not enough to make for a very good trigger pull.

Photo tip for ya - don't use anything white for a background when photographing something. The light meters in cameras are calibrated to provide an 18% gray balance, which makes your white background dark and your subject even darker.

Better off to use a gray background or even a tad darker, and your camera wil adjust to try and lighten it up, which makes your subject stand better and brings out the details.

Just a tip from yer ol' Uncle Ron......
