Wife's other "cute" auction item! One local said it's Steyr Mannlicher 6.5. Tried a 6.5x55.Didn't work. Another said it was Dutch. It's a bolt action with number 6331 in two places on the bolt. Above one of the #'s, looks like a crown above a j Metal butt plate with 2 screws. Near barrel end of receiver is the number 62 It's about 45 1/2" overall. Any info and value appreciated.

    It is a dutch mannlicher in 6.5X53R Dutch. hembrug is the arsenal. Depending on model and condition it could run anywhere from $50 for a beat up or sporterized model, into the $200+ range for one in really nice shape. It most certainly is not a Steyr-Mannlicher, as that implies an Austro/Hungarian straight pull, though some of these guns were in fact made by Steyr.
