It doesn't use the traditional Mauser action and it's produced by SIG Sauer (not to be confused with Sig Sauer) using the Mauser name.

Some Mauser collectors refuse to consider it as a Mauser like the M98.

I’ve used a Sauer 100 XT and I believe it’s basically the same action and barrel. Trigger is super nice, stock is light and felt recoil is more than similar rifles I’ve shot, but I think it’s meant to be shot with a bladed stance? Mauser has a different stock, but might be lighter because I think they have a space for a cleaning kit in it.
