Guessing Game Time

[mikhughe]

Well, just like so many others I have a gun I can't identify. Maybe someone out here on the forum has a lot more experience with identifying old guns that I do.
It isn't stamped with much, it has a "7mm" Stamped on the barrel under the scope but the stamping looks homemade. And it has a really small stamp on the bolt that is quite difficult to make out, I can't say for certain what it is. Other than that, it's bare. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

The photos of it are in a photo bucket account found here:

It may be an old spanish mauser. But I'm no where close to being sure.

Would it trouble you to actually post the pictures, its a royal pain trying to access your link from a phone.

I tried to post them but each picture is larger than the picture upload limit, which is why I posted them on that photobucket website (first time photobucketer).

Maybe this link works better.

That's a pretty re-worked action, so a 7mm what, is the issue.

Cast the chamber and roll from there, as it could be any number of a dozen or more 7mm's that are out there.

Looks like an 98 mauser action it has the third recoil lug at the back of the bolt

So, I pulled off the stock and found a light marking that matches the bolt. It's easier to see though. A lion and a P.V. Which after googling seems to mean it's proofed for smokeless cartridges and it's Spanish.
