Because of the caliber, I'll bet it's a tack driver. Careful with your loading though, they can be damaged... Load to lighter spec I'd say. Factory but not hot.

I've seen several of those distinctive actions factory assembled post war as sporting rifles.
At least 2 of them were chambered in 8x57, so they are plenty strong.

Facinating, your link says that the rifles i've seen were actually war time assembled "partisan rifles" intended for resistance groups to use German ammunition in the case of German invasion and occupation.
I'll have to see if i can relocate one of them.
