I never heard of Vince Noel, but you show a typical post WWII sporter conversion of an Army surplus rifle.
It is not a Mauser, it is a US Model 1917, originally .30-06, therefore a straightforward rebarrel to .270.

It is a very complete and thorough sporterizing job. Look up the 1917 US "Enfield" and you can see all the work ol Vince did. He removed the receiver sight and cut off the protective "ears" to allow a low scope mount. He straightened out or replaced the potbellied trigger guard/magazine well bottom metal to give a smoother profile. He pretty much turned it into a Remington Model 30.
The stock is a generic replacement likely from Bishop or Fajen. The brand name might be on the buttplate.

It is certainly $400 worth of hunting rifle, especially since you say you like the weight.
