They look like modern proof or import marks. Perhaps German.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have a Swedish 1896 Mauser rifle in 6.5x55mm that is nothing short of excellent. With Swedish miliary ball ammo it is a tack driver at 100 yds. I believe this rifle would make a very good sniper type rifle.
