Rifle type?

[JPK]

I’ve bought a nice rifle and wondered if for conversation purposes a type can be assigned to it. The stock is walnut with a 31” swamped barrel 1 1/8” at the breech. The Chambers lock is of a  English type with a flat butt plate with fancy extension as is the trigger bow. A trade rifle or a jaeger or pure fantasy?

Looks like a nice hunting rifle to me. That rear sight says it was built for someone somewhat far sighted.
Strikes me as somewhat of a militar(ish) design.

Thank you, Daryl.

It's an English sporting rifle.

Thanks Mike, I hadn’t considered that.
