Can someone identify this gun?

A buddy of mine bought it and sent me this picture. We're trying to covertly buy accessories for his birthday. He says its 6.5 Grendel.

Looks like a Carcano in 6.5 CARCANO not Grendel

Looks like a Carcano to me & if those are the rounds for it laying there looks like 7.35x51 !

Carcanos were made in 6.5mm and 7.35mm, but the cartridges are basically identical other than bullet diameter. They both use the same clips. You should be able to easily determine the bore by measurement or test fitting a 6.5mm or .30 caliber cartridge in the muzzle. You can buy new manufacture 6.5 Carcano from Prvi Partisan, but the 7.35 is only available (AFAIK) as fairly expensive surplus.

The 7.35 was semi-spitzer & the 6.5 was round nose.
