From what you've posted, it is a post 1912 Z-M sourced stalker/target arm with a Hogback style stock/butt(Schweinsrücken akin to Schießstock usw.??) and a German stecher.
Kind Regards,

Scour the web for a Sauer Hahnlose Tell-Büchse. They seem to crop up quite often.

rse The date marking is 10/36....yes....post 1912. What is significant about 1912 in this context? Start of WWI hostilities? What? Is a "stecher" a double set trigger? So it's a Merkel..... (Z-M).

I make brass for the 8.15 out of 30-30 cases.
They sure are fun to shoot.

popplecop,
The Sauer Tell rifle Raimey mentioned is not the same as texasjacks rifle, but is similar and chambered for similar cartridges(30-30 headsize & smaller).I believe Simpson Ltd. has a Tell for sale now, look under "Long guns"and then "other Manufacturers".
If anyone is interested, there is an article about 8.15x46R in "WAIDMANNSHEIL", one of the German Gun Collectors Assn.publications.
Texasjack
I reccomend you make or have someone make a chamber cast. The 8.15x46R is one of those rifles that seem to have been rechambered very often, sometimes to cartridges that may damage the rifle.Skeetx is right about this being a "fun" cartridge.
Mike

Texasjack,
Can you show photos of the proofmarks under the barrel,they will likely show caliber and date of proof.

Ford, it may have be unintentionally inferred, but I did not state that the Sauer Tell and the one of topic were the same. The probability of locating a Sauer Tell in much, much higher that some oddball Zella Sankt Blasii - Mehlis contraption. The one of topic was a pricepoint variant sourced from a Zella Sankt Blasii-Mehlis maker who must have hung out his shingle in the late 1920s. So no, not made by Merkel. It was proofed in the final state.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
