That's Valerian Sauveplane with a Borlov (aka Borlo, Borloz).
I've asked about Borlov on other forums, and information is limited. I understand these were the product of a small (one man?) shop in Switzerland. Alister Allan used a Borlov at the 1988 Seoul Olympics (not sure about LA in '84). Herr Borlov fitted Anschutz and Unique barrels I believe (Val's may be a Unique), and Anschutz 5018 triggers.
A Unique T2000 would have a more rounded top. EDIT - No thinking of the X-Concept, the T2000 is a similar shape but has a safety on the bolt.
The stock is a GE600, the progenitor of today's Esprit Carabine.
