Gun Identification

[quacksmoker]

I recently inherited this gun and I’m not quite sure what brand/model it is. The only numerical marking is on the underside of the bolt handle. Based on my preliminary research, I think it is a Browning, but there are no other markings on the gun besides the caliber (7mm Rem Mag).  Any help would be appreciated.

That looks a lot like an imported Firearms International built ona Finnish action. Although not a Browning, they are very similar castings.  Many of them from the 70's are very well built and accurate. Pull it from the stock and look at the underside of the barrel and action forward of the lug for more markings. Most of the barrels were stamped FIA but many were rebarreled by smiths throughout the years.

I like it, I'd keep it for sure

I would expect the Husky to be clearly marked as it is a comercial rifle.  The ones by InterArms or Firearms International from that era were not marked very well.

Not sure on the flavor if it, but it is a good looking gun

That's what I thought, but the serial numbers dont match any browning production.

After looking at more pictures, the stock looks like a Browning. It's the closest match of everything I have looked at. What leads me to this is the pattern before the recoil pad and the flowered medallion on the stock. What I don't understand it that there are no other marking to suggest it is a Browing. There is a 5 digit serial number under the bolt handle that is also ingraved in the stock under the bolt action.

It was suggested on another forum that it is a Mauser "Santa Barbra" action.
