There you are with opinions again. Or is it Googled "knowledge" in your case?
Do some reading on Mauser patents on the actions he built (especially the Model 98) and you'll see that the CZ action design lacks several of the significant patents that were, in his written words, some of his crowning achievements in rifle design.
A CZ with a single stack removable magazine is one that would probably make him belch the loudest along with several breeching issues. On top of that you can throw in the CZ removable bolt handle that is definitely not the mark of a Mauser action.
I'm not knocking the CZ action. I own several. I'm simply saying that the action does not exhibit many similarities to a true Mauser other than the external looks of the action itself (which looks like many others) largely because of the very visible claw extractor, in spite of how many other opinions you can find on the internet that agree with what you want to find. Maybe Catshooter's "Bonjour" photo fits here.
Win 70 CRF actions, the Ruger Hawkeye CRF actions, and other such as Kimber have claw extractors, but no one ever claims that they are Mausers as a result.
If I'm a troll for presenting facts, I can live with that. And you're taking yourself very seriously to, in your words, not care. Chill out and slow down on the name calling or your hemorrhoids might flare up on ya'.
