Is it possible that the barrel isn't actually back bored at all? Ten to twelve inches of back boring is very unusual in a .22 rifle -- or any sporting rifle, for that matter. Is it possible that the muzzle has a barrel extension tube?

The walnut thumbhole stock it's said to have brings to mind Walther and Anschutz Moving Target models.
The Anschutz 1808 EDS, for example, has what Anschutz refers to as a muzzle tube. It can also be easily described as a barrel extension, to which barrel weights can be attached.




Original stocks can be easily changed out.



Another similar model is the Anschutz 1808 DRT, which also has a muzzle tube or barrel extension.




Other types of rifles also had barrel extension tubes that screwed directly on the muzzle. One such example is the HVA Carl Gustav CG 22T.

I had one (1974-made?) that came with a movable barrel weight that's not in the image below.



 
For some reason I can't pull up Accurate Shooter on my cell. It re-directs me and then nothing happens. I tried two different servers on my phone and nothing. I had this problem with another site but used Chrome and got around it. Won't let me here for some reason so I can't use the phone. I've yet to figure this out.

As for back bored, its most diffinetly back bored. I used a carbon arrow to check it with. Eleven inchs worth. Not an Annie either, wish it was but it isn't. Or at least a few us of don't think it is. The barrel is fluted, ( a set of long flutes then about an inch not fluted then the flutes start again), and the back bore stops in the middle of the flutes so it isn't a bloop tube either. LOL, I haven't figure out how to get the bolt out of the action yet either. What the heck did I buy????
 
I may have figured it out.

I have nit seen that action before.
but still think it is a trigger pull bolt release. But if you see a groove in the left side of the bolt - then that silver screw in the notched stock might be the answer
 
It sure looks like a worked H&R m-12 . Bolt. Trigger and receiver .
its bolt release has been reworked. You should be able to lift bolt , lift or push lever on left side and remove bolt
Prefix in ser num will give you year made

Ive got 5 of the all stock military ones and one that’s modified. They were military trainer target rifles along the time of the kimber 82s . I much prefer the H&R . Which was a winchester 52 copy , sort of .
Stock is a fajen thumb hole silhouette, popular in the 80s wood trigger guard was the give away. Boyds copied it but removed the wood trigger guard .ive only got one remaining on a Rem 788 in 6mm rem

I guess I'll go ahead and ask the obvious...how does it shoot? If it shoots well, the man knew what he was doing. One thing I do know is that the maximum length for velocity is about 16-17 inches so that must have something to do with it.
 
It's certainly not an Anschutz or a Walther. A European-made rifle .22LR would be likely to have 11mm dovetail grooves. With drilled and tapped base-only optic mounting, it's almost certainly a North American design.

As noted by Ggmac, the stock looks like a Fajen silhouette model.
 
Me and my smith figured out the bolt release. I have to remove it from the stock but with the raised cheek piece I would have to do it anyway. The little button with the hair pin spring is the bolt release. Push it forward and the bolt comes out.
 
I just talked to my smith and he didn't think it was an H&R but I went to Numrich and looked up the Model 12 and if it isn't an H&R is a pretty close second. All the trigger parts looked the same as mine. So...from here on out its a Model 12. Thank you all for the help and now I know how to post pictures to.
 
Get a new smith ! Its an h&r 12 or the commercial version the 5200 . Ser num will tell .
Cocking piece has been lightened, and some other mods all period correct for silhouette/ running boar rifle of the 80s
