As has been noted it's a 41 Swiss rimfire. Ammo does not exist BUT it can easily be converted to center fire, cases made from 8mm Lebel and dies are made by Lee. Most will slug ..427-.434 and shoot well with heavy .431 lead bullets. I have mine set up with an EER 3-9 old (good) Burris. Shoots well and kills things too. About the same power as an 8" 44 Magnum revolver.
320 gr bullet, 1250 fps, 50 yards
My rifle:
2016 Antelope 55 paces, one shot DOA.
BTW a 41 with a good bore is an easy $300-500 rifle.
How do I slide the bolt out for pics? holding trigger in does not do it. The rear of the bolt has a nob on it that screws in /out by fingers, does that remove bolt?

I'm in Canandaigua NY you live anyplace close to see if the rifle is any good? it is NOT as nice as the one you have in pics. You seem to know about the gun as you own one I assume?
