Need help identifying a rifle lots of pics

[seagoing3]

I got this today in a trade and cant find any marking on it other than a serial number that is pictured below. it is super heavy chambered in .308 with a nice stock but again no clues as to who made it or what model it is.

I'm hoping some one here will recognize it and help me figure out what i have here.

Thanks for the help!!






























thanks for helping ID this thing

looks like a savage to me but thats just a shot in the dark.

Mazin thanks been looking in to that but can't find a list of savage serial numbers to see of this fits in some where. Kind of looks like their format for a SN.

I'm guessing its not a Savage based on the safety.

Maybe a marking on the receiver under one of those rails. But that's one HELL of a barrel! Nice looking beastie too, I'd give a good workout and get to know it.

What does the top of the base say?

1950's vintage Weatherby is my guess, obviously somebody rebarrelled it.

1950's vintage Weatherby is my guess, obviously somebody rebarrelled it.

That's kinda where I'm at, the only thing that leads me to that is the bolt.

I'd pop the stock off and see what the rest of the action looks like.

I was thinking it might be a marlin, but I am having a hell of a time finding older pictures of their bolt guns. Has more to do with the safety, the bolt and the sweep on the front of the stock, but I can't verify it.

Thanks I will take of the rail and investigate more tomorrow. I will post pics of my findings.
