This is my Schultz & Larsen Model 61, a veritable behemoth at 14.5 1lbs, 1" diameter, 27" long barrel. I believe (someone correct if I'm wrong) that the M61 meets the international specifications for a "free" rifle. Schultz & Larsen referred to it as a "Skyttegevær Kortbane", short range rifle. Mine did not come with a hand rest, but maybe I'll stumble into one someday. The rifle was a direct development from the Nr. 45, 46, 47, and 49 target rifles. Production began around 1959, but it is not known how many M61 rifles were made. It was a fairly prominent rifle in free rifle competitions during the 1960s and 1970s. The hand rest itself is a marvel of woodworking craft Adjustible set trigger. I haven't put it through its paces yet, but once I find my zero, I will shoot it at 100 meters and see how it does.
