single shot with leaf sights and a 'set trigger' - that is most likeley one of the old german 'target guns' used for competitions by hunters (woodsmen)in southern Germany before the great war.
8.15x46R was the caliber for that.
if the stock is very ornate & with shoulder-hook, then it is one of those!
(also a caliber preferred by poachers at that time! in short or take-down guns)
Our friends in Germany should have a bit more info on these things - I'm getting old and can't remember what they are called and other details now - sorry
as far as I am aware,8.15x46R ammo is still available somewhere - try Bertram for cases
Edit: just remembered: Schützen Rifle
