As to the Mauser, I guess the question is whether it's a magnum action. Seems so to me but it's very hard to tell from photos (for me).
That is a standard length action.
You see the cross bolt is roughly in the middle of the receiver ring. That means that the recoil lug under the ring is forward of that.
Cross bolts on magnum length actions are pretty much even with the rear of the receiver ring as the lug is also back farther under the ring.
