I can't quite make out the lettering on the receiver. Is the action made in Oberndorf? Did a scope come with it?

Neat. So he did perform his craft on some German wares. When visiting HI one time in Memphis I brought a couple guns w/ me to ask him a couple questions. I had to remove something so I pulled out a Puma blade and he said Son you are working on a Kraut gun w/ a Kraut knife. He said the same of the Sauer Survival Dreilings. Told me to get myself a proper gun.

I think it's a 1909 action. It came with scope rings but no scope, He milled off the bottom of Redfield rings and welded on the German claw base so any 1in scope can be used.

Any history on what effort HI contributed and with what platform he started?

unusual to have the front base on the barrel ? Nice quality rifle.

If the reference was to >>HI<<, then yes. I don't recall exactly how Mr. Buck referred to HI.

Nero, For "Claw" mounts, the location of the front base depends greatly on the length of the scope; and locating it on the barrel is pretty common now. Mike
