What kind of gun is this ??

Well on the news they said it was a sporterized Mauser. 98 . And I'll go with that because I have one just like that .

That looks like the kind of gun that shoots supersonic sniper bullets.

Good news; Utah has the death penalty.

Gary Gilmore knew that. 1977

There are thousands of sporterized mousers that have beeen rebarreled. Many of them are pretty good, if not great, and dependable firearms. Many of the current bolt action rifles are based on the 98 design.

98 Mauser has likely killed more folk than any other gun in history.

I have owned 3 98 Mausers with aftermarket barrels a 243 and 308 both wouldn’t have any difficulty hitting a small target at 200 yds. The other 7x57 could hit a barn side at 200.
Just remembered had a 270 Mauser that was a 200 yd. Gun.

Possibly, but AK-47 may have it beat.

Hard to tell but the safety at the rear of the bolt looks to be a Mauser action.

Is there any marks on the top of the receiver, left side of the receiver?

But, the bolt handle looks very much like a Springfield........
