I've aquired a rifle based on a 98 mauser action with a custom trigger, stock and a barrel marked .300 elite. It will feed, chamber and extract a .300 win mag or .300 weatherby but it's obviously neither of those. I say obviously because a friend was anxious to see if it was really a .300 win mag and fired one out of it. the brass fire formed a good .30" of the neck. The resulting piece of brass was somewhat longer than a .300 weatherby at the shoulder making the case 2.454" long from base to shoulder.
I've searched long and hard online with no luck, and none of the more knowledgable people locally have any idea what it is. I'll try to attach a photo. If it comes through it will show left to right a .300 win mag, .300 weatherby, and the fire formed .300 win mag fired through this rifle.
