Ferdinand Mannlicher's straight-pull, bolt action rifle designs ultimately led to this. His rapid loading enbloc clip system had carried over from the previous models but now paired with a fairly complex rotating, front locking bolt. These elegant long rifles are fairly light for their size, in addition to being narrow and well balanced. Sadly, however, they were also susceptible to fouling with debris and mud thanks to the open-bottomed magazines. The bolts could also become stiff and difficult to work if poorly maintained.
