IMO, you have a rifle, most likely built in the 1970's, by Bill Ihm of the Fort Atkinson (Nebraska) Muzzleloaders Club.

AFAIK, he was a BP gunsmith/builder that also made rifles to be used as prizes for the club's annual shoot(s).

Edit AGAIN, jeez I'm batting a thousand today. My math was right after all. You get caliber from dividing the top number by the bottom number. SO, 5 divided by 8 is .625, so .62 Caliber.
