Looks pretty slick. Not crazy about the red cocking indicator. I assume the lawyers made them put that on there. Couldn't find any info on pricing though.

Looks good to me! Maybe it will be affordable.

If that's a Mauser, a Volt is a '56 Chevy.

Looks an awful lot like a pushfeed Model 70 with detachable magazine.

It's apparently going to be priced to compete with the Sako 85. That's what's being said here anyway.
As for a model 70 lookalike - the 3 position safety is the only similarity - in fact the shroud looks a little like the Heym bolt action.
Looks very strong and having the bolt lock up in the barrel will mean it should be accurate too.
If my M03 is anything to go by, I'd take it over a Sako any day! Or a model 70!

I have to wonder about the dual ejectors. I looks like it will throw the brass up into the scope. Maybe that's why the scope wasn't on it, other than to open it up to see. The SRS is just the Win. 3-pos. Also, the "open" receiver is again without the scope, so not much different than others. Wood looks very nice. It should be a nice rifle.
I think, therefore I am, conservative.

Regarding double ejectors. Watch the 8odd minute youtube on it and see how the older chap ejects an empty case. Ejects well clear, shooting off low and well to the right.

I wonder if it is a one size fits all action like the Tikka?

Are these made by Sig?
IIRC, Mauser pretty much got out of the civilian market.

Looks like an Abolt raped a CPRF M70 and [bleep] a 2000$ Euro-gimmick out.

Their M98 version has that. 15K later  I like the all the features of this rifle. Whether I buy 1 is another story, but, if the price is right and the weights are accurate it will be hard to resist

Pass the 700 please... grin The M12 will differ slightly to the 700 in that it won't have a detachable bolt handle......
