The Poor Man's Take Down Big Game Rifle

Looks like VZ 24 or Czech K98. The military stock has been sporterized and the receiver drilled and tapped to mount scope ring bases.
If you remove the front base you will find a rampant lion crest. This would make it a K98 rather than a VZ24. Most likely a postwar refurbished rifle that was ready for service before VZ 24 production.
What caliber is it?
Thanks for the information. It’s a .308 caliber and being an older gun it appears to have been fired a lot over the years as the riflings are pretty worn. Still shoots pretty true but definitely worn. I would like to redo this rifle, just not sure if I can even get replacement built parts or not. I will look tonight and see what markings is on it for sure.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
