I Have an old swiss rifle that was given to me sometime ago and I am wondering what it is and if it worth anything.It has the Swiss Logo on the Main Body and some numbers that read "68560". this number is on the Barrel and all the Internal parts of this gun. the rifle has a very large bore and it has a rear site that is varible in elavation.The rifle is Bolt Action and has an internal magazine for what looks like about 5-6 shells. the rifle's Bolt and trigger work. Unknown if it fires.Please get back with me if you may have any Information on this rifle.Thank you.Robert ButlerConroe, Texas.

    Is it a straight pull bolt action with bakelite knobs or a ring on the side of the bolt? If so it may be a schmidt rubin. go to www.swissrifles.com and look around maybe you can distinguish which model you have.

    There is a Swiss military rifle from the black powder period in cal .41 rimfire. Look at the bolt face and find two firing pins on opposite sides. Would have tubular magazine under the barrel a la Marlin and Winchester. Hope this helps.
