8mm/06
Went to the site typed in the serial number say's date of manufacture 1906.
Hmm seems to me it's not that old but thats the serial number on the rifle. The wife say's her and grampa sanded and refinished the stock when see was a little girl 13 or 14.
So the stock may look a little different than one that is that old I guess.
Thanks for the info . Have been doing a littleresearch and am comming up with the very low end for an Elk rifle on this caliber.
