Just back from the FFL. Yay.
This thing is really good. Tight as a bank vault. Clean. Zero pitting. Bores like a mirror. Very sharp engraving. It's way better than the seller's description. I am pleased with this one!
It's a very svelte little gun. Much lighter and handier than I expected.
I think it is most certainly 8x57JR rather than 8x57R/360NE. The rim recess is somewhere in the neighborhood of .510-.520ish, whereas I believe the 360NE was somewhere in the .6 area.
My brass is due to arrive tomorrow, though, so I'll know for sure then.
Haven't slugged the bore yet. Tomorrow.
Here are some better (hopefully) photos you wanted, of the markings. If there's anything unclear that I ought to take another of, please let me know.
