I have thought about taking it to a gun shop but since I know so little it's a little concerning for me to do that. I do realize that might have to happen eventually.
I say it's a .243 because it's stamped on the rifle, see pic #4 and you'll see there is nothing stamped after the .243.
Also, I have no desire to fire the rifle and to me it looks like it might have never been fired.
Thanks for taking the time and your input.
