I don't know anything about them either, but it sure does look like a sporterized military action. As for what bullets to use, the ones you mention will work fine assuming we are talking typical controlled expansion hunting bullets. Won't matter a bit if you are shooting out to 100 yds. If you are likely to shoot farther, the gun will have to tell you which it likes best. In a 30/06 anything from a 150 - 180 gr bullet will be fine for deer.
