The picture I saw was a Mauser action with a composite sporter stock and modified to accept a scope. It was not a takedown rifle.

Some of the WWI Mausers guns had their barrel shortened as well.

Unless it was a Savage 110 with the removal barrel. I’ve built several Mauser actions and don’t remember any that were changeable. Didn’t Remington and Ruger also offer rifles with interchangeable barrels at one time?

If you take a look at the photo the scope is mounted as far back as possible.

Why?

It seems the recoil of a .30-06 would drive the ocular back into your eye (I know someone who had this happen).
