Its a Wilhelm Brenneke Mauser made in 1961.

I can only presume its ofcouse from the W. Brenneke shop.

Classic gun it is.
The scope is a Nickel, Marburg: Favorit 6-9 x 50 situated in a Suhler einhack montage(clawmount).

Nice. I like the carved band around the buttstock. Sometimes those are added to cover the seam where a wood extension has been glued. From what I can see of the grain flow, looks like it has not been extended.

I doubt the is a stock ext. Just follow the grain in the stock.

Regarding stock carvings. They are not unusual in Europe. This is easily one of the more tasteful ones I have come across.

Those "finger loops" on the trigger guard seem to be a European specialty as well. I have never owned a rifle with such a feature, but I know of people who swear they offer an advantage when shooting offhand. Who is to know?

Brenneke sure is a top make!
Less known for the rifles than for the cartridges, for sure; but all (the very few) Brenneke weapons I have seen have been nothing short of breathtaking.

So congratulations Jens! Don't forget to put it under the Christmas tree, now, will you.

Can anyone shed light on the purpose of the "loop" of the trigger guard on this gun?

Not sure why, but they seem to build these guns with long, thin barrels (or they look like it)
but also overall very light.

The one in the photos "looks" to be light,
mine is and 2 others I have seen / held.

They do make nice guns though.

Some people put their middle finger into that loop when they shoot the gun. You still see those on guns down here in Germanistic Europe. They are quite common in some target rifles.

The scope (steel, 50mm objective) will put a good deal of weight in the rifle. The barrel (also?) looks thin because it is so long, 28". I wonder what the muzzle diameter and the weight of the rifle might be?

The "light" look of the rifle also comes from the slender forearm. It may not be the most practical feature for a heavy kicking rifle, but it sure looks a lot better this way!

Mine also has a long barrel but different scope mount on it
but mine does have a Single blade U Rear sight and a bit lump
for the front sight - like on this rifle.

They all seem to look the same, great guns either way.

It cost only 40 Euros to send the rifle from das Oberland to Vikingland Smiler

Here is a lovely little 6,5x52R..(25-35WCF)

10.5 lbs, that will help tame the recoil a bit. It really does look like a nice gun!

Brenneke used in the sixties FN-systems and they knew, that a 9.3x64 needs a little weigt! A very well knowned german gunsmith told me, that these Brenneke rifles are the onliest 9.3x64 rifles which could be shot without peine!

Well, it's how a lot of German guns look.

I'm an anglophile at the best of times but the German's build functional guns that work.

My 64 is the same and I love it. It's not English but it's surprisingly nice.

The gun is made in a German/Bavarian style. The gunmaker has been faithfull to that style, and not mixed things up + the caliber for that type of gun is correct. If the caliber has been a 340 wea..it would had been a little odd.
Clean true lines will over the years set its grace, even amongst the inmature.

Sorry, but that looks like an extension under that carving.

The grain flow in the butt section is almost perfectly perpendicular to the butt (perhaps quarter sawn) while the forward section has a lot of curve in the grain flow from the (somewhat)slab sawn wood.

It looks like it was quarter sawn but perhaps from the outer edge. The rear portion of the butt on the left side is the only part that exibits slab sawn characteristics.The butt extension does not exibit those traits.

That being said, the gun isn't in any way "ugly", it's just of a different style.

Just my observasion of the grain flow, YMMV.

BTW: I have always wondered why that particular chambering never caught on. It would have made sense (to me) to have a whole family of cartrides (standard length fat magnums) based on that case design.
