With that magazine, it looks as if it's built on a Belgian mauser...
The bolt handle has definitely been altered..

@ Gunsmoke
Ja, that is the suggestion I got over on THR. It could be a CZ 527 American, but with the CZ Lux stock. There are still some differences though. I have emailed CZ and asked for confirmation.
@ Scorch
Thanks also for the suggestion. I searched through some Sako images online and they have stocks that match my pictures. I can't get detailed pictures of the trigger area though. I emailed Sako too.
Hopefully I will get a reply from these companies.

It's a CZ, dad blast it.
Now, being a .222 and not .223 it is probably several years old and different in detail from current models.

You got it.
Combination of Yank type naked barrel and Euro hogsback stock, it could be as you said, an American barrelled action in a Lux stock either as a swapout or special order.
Differences you may have noticed are a stirrup sling loop instead of the usual Uncle Mikes stud and swivel. I think it has a better finish than current rifles, too, even though it has had a lot of use and maybe some knocking around from all the dings in the bolt handle.

just a guess
Could it be a "pre-CZ " as in Brno. I have a Brno with the same type front sling attachment. I also have two recent CZ's, one "American" in .22 hornet and one "Lux" in .223. The pictured one has the stock of a Lux and the barrel of the American, ie sans iron sites, but the front sling attachment of neither.
