Anyone Familiar with Mauser M96?

Im looking at a Mauser M96 American, its a modern straight pull bolt rifle not the old Swedish Mausers. Anyway, its chambered in 7mm Rem Mag which I have absolutely no interest in. So what Im wondering is if it would be a candidate for a barrel change/rechamber/etc. to something else I might actually be interested in, or if it would be cost prohibitive to change it much? Any information about this model would be appriciated.

Its probably a stretch but I thought it would be worth a try, the price seems to be right if I could turn it into something I want....I gotta get off these straight pulls:rolleyes:.

Very intersting I thought the model 96 was German as well adopted by the Sweds Norway Etc . Later the German model 98 came to lite designed by Paul Mauser
So where does this straight pull action come from ?
I understood the American Navy had one in 6MM or something for awhile , but did know Americans had any thing else .
