I believe the Mauser was a plant. Why would someone carry a rifle a ways just to drop it later. Why not just leave it.
The actual shooter may have used a single shot rifle which is easily disassembled into three pieces with an overall length of 20-22 inches. New England Firearms SB2 which comes in many calibers including 30-06. Is one example.

I read there was a spent shell in it.
Ballistics may nullify your theory.
