Well it could be a wildcat, or just a rebarrel by a guy named Koehn. Seller should have supplied some more info about it.
Looks like it has aftermarket wood so I would say it's a semi custom 700.
I don't ever remember seeing that name in Cartridges of the World...

Maybe it's a .358 by Norma's brother (as in .358 Norma Magnum). ;)


Evidently, the seller's attracted to guns with weird alterations, witness the awkward styling of the stock (which is IMO salvageable).

Check out one of the other guns he has for sale - which has it's buttstock completely covered with fish scale carving:

Is that carving? Looks to me like it may be a basket-weave-stamped leather butt cover. Odd in itself.

Looks carved to me but to say it's FUGLY is an understatement!
I was thinking its a Norma mag but who knows without a chamber cast.

Sure are some crappy butt photos. Lets take a photo of the barrel roll marks where you can't actually read what it says. And the use the photo! :roll:
