Looks like some kind of old Mauser that someone converted into a Scout style rifle. Possibly Turkish. Definitely not it's original configuration. Be sure about the caliber before you try to shoot it. FWIW...

Have you asked the guys in the vintage sniper rifle section with those pics they may be able to I.D. it for you.

Yup, its a mauser. There is one at my gun shop chambered in 308. Im probably going to pick it up. its only 300$, so i figure its worth a shot. Its got a heavy barrel and integrated muzzle break, as well as a custom thumb through. Ill see what i can do with it!
