    When you say "straight bolt" I presume you mean the bolt handle isn't bent, and that the gun is not a straight pull rifle. Sounds like you have an 8mm Lebel rifle. Standard French rifle from 1886 through the 1920's, still used in WW2. In good shape with Tubular Mag you could probably get $200 or so, $300 in VG shape. So they tell me, anyhow.
    "...hit your enemy in the belly, and kick him when he is down, and boil his prisoners in oil- if you take any- and torture his women and children. Then people will keep clear of you..." -Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher, speaking at the Hague Peace Conference in 1899.
