Having a long time interest in the heavy barrel, bolt action match rifles, I find your rifle very interesting.
If you would please, provide a few more details, it would be appreciated.
Diameter of the barrel at the receiver?
If possible, what is the rate of twist?
It is a very nice rifle, and definitely on worth preserving, enjoy it.
Thanks, and best regards,

Hi What Cheer,
Thank you for your interest in this rifle. I am sorry it has
taken so long to get back to your questions about it, a combination of a vacation, and home repairs. I dug out the Niedner today and made the measurements you asked for. The barrel has a diameter of 1.2 inches at the receiver. I put a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod and pushed it down the barrel and measured the distance the rod traveled while it made a complete revolution, it came out to pretty close to one turn in 10 inches.
Cheers
