Hi B.J.
It's right at .70 caliber. A bit larger than most of these wich normally run between about .60 and .65 caliber.
I still don't understand the thinking behind the butt stock design. That fishtail is small and thin. I have another Tanchika that will become my shooter as soon as the barrel returns from the barrelsmith for lining. So I'll find out how uncomfortable it will be to shoot these. LOL
