    Century Imported?

    Thats what I'm assuming the CAI is.

    Then it says 6mm??

    Gotta see some better pictures because those things are blurry as heck.

    Looks to me just like a sporterized Mauser?

      The receiver is an 03-A3, close, but not a Mauser. Got a better pic of the bolt?

        Sporter, chambered in 6mm-284 that's a heck of a cartridge for yotes to deer size game and an excellent Pronghorn cartridge. Dies will set you back a bit and brass can be formed from 284 or 6.5-284.

          ^^^^^^ This
          Get some Reloder 22 and some 95-108 grain bullets if the barrel has a 8.5 to 1 twist or faster.

            Mauser not a Mauser.

            Partner,



            What you got there is 1903 Springfield, it has been sporterized. It is the 1,200,000 serial number range. Late production, 1930s. The CAI is actually CAL for caliber, 6mm-.284. Hope this helps. A2

              Barrel burner for sure 1500-1800 rounds tops, popular long range cartridge in the late 70's early 80's with 1x8/9" twist barrels and heavy 105/107 grain bullets.

                It's something some one put together. Hard to tell from the pic but maybe a Bishop or Fajen stock. It looks some thing you see on the used racks for $300-$600. If the bore is shot out it's a parts gun needing a $500-$600 re barrel job. Bore scope the barrel before you spend any time and money on it. The 6.5x284 is only good for about 800-1000 rounds and the 6x284 less than that. A fun cartridge but also one that will keep your gunsmith and barrel maker in business. If the barrel is in good shape you have an awesome pronghorn and deer rifle, just go easy on it.

                  Thanks everyone for the input, a lot of knowledgable CalGunners out there!

                  This rifle is actually a friend of mine, who I've sent a link to for him to read. The rifle is located in a different state so better pictures will be slow to come.

                    I do have a German Mauser with a custom stock and chambered for the 6-284. It has a long Unertil-type scope mounted. It was built by my uncle who was a custom gunsmith. I bought the dies to load the 284 brass. Haven't shot it much for the reasons already mentioned.
