Sure does remind me of a .500 Schuler a friend owned. Both single stack magazines, rebated rims. The .500 my friend owned had a spring that helped managed the cartridges as they came up out of the mag box, no such devise on this rifle.

Schüler built the cartridge retaining springs only into their 12.7x70 aka .500 Schueler rifles, which have true single stack magazines to hold the outsized girth cartridges. The 11.2x72 Schueler case is slimmer, 13.6 instead of 15.73 mm base diameter. If you look closely at the magazine follower in your 2nd photo, the 11.2x72 cartridges are slightly staggered. So the common integral Mauser feed lips are sufficient to hold the cartridges inside the magazine.
