Is this basically a M70 action?

Sort of a copy with different bolt release and better breaching. Nice action. Trigger is the old style M70.

Kind of a cross between a Mauser 98 & a Pre '64 M 70.

This is in 7x57 as well, but I really like that African. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=417219657It strikes me as a bit odd that the African is in .358 Win. Great caliber but not typically an African cartridge in my mind.

I'm kinda liking this one. http://www.gunsamerica.com/950220247/RG_OWEN_CUSTOM_MAUSER_7X57.htmI'm gonna go shave my back and buff the callouses off my knuckles.
