A 6.5 and a 6.8
You have good taste sir. An Oberndorf Mauser "original sporting rifle" in 6.5x47, kurz action. Manufactured 1923, I got it in a completely stuffed state and no bolt . Rebuilt by Dave Ward. 3.1 Kgs.
Do you find the mauser action too noisy? I have a cz527 and I wonder if the action is too loud for bush hunting.

I wouldn't say so, no.
It's more clunky. But run it fast and it's still very slick. I'd say the sound of the round popping up out of the mag on a Tikka/Howa/whatever is probably a bit louder if you go slow.
@timattalon, close, 6.5 Grendel.
I tend to leave the action completely open. With a round under the extractor, it'll slide back and flick the round out into the tussock when pointed upwards.
And I rarely rely on the safety with that particular rifle. I use the set triggger on it and it has actually gone off before when the set trigger is engaged and I've flicked the safety off.
It's a bit of a faff when the animal you're lining up on ducks into cover then you have to de-cock, un-set, re-cock, apply safety, wait for the animal to re-appear, remove safety, re-set, fire. Easier to just keep the chamber empty until ready to shoot.
@Micky Duck you, or some other old school hunter, should teach these boys how to hunt safely on half cocked, so they don't go off half locked!
