Hi! I have a question.. Does Savage rifles have a Mauser action Controlled feed or Push feed?
And how Savage stands against Winchester 70 and Mauser M12?

Definitely not a controlled Mauser feed. Similar to the Rem 700 in that it has a button ejector on the bolt face and a small extractor. Works, but not Mauser-like.
But a bonus if you want to feed one at a time from an empty magazine.
As far as vs. a M70 . . . Savage is mostly similar to the post-'64 style push-feed for bolt head (not current production). But the Savage has a "floating" head that is rumored more accurate.
Mauser M12 is nothing like either. Closer to a Browning or Weatherby.
All are more than adequate for what they are chambered in. Savage has a reputation for shooting with the best but costing less.
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Last words of Gen. Sedgwik
Prior to 2009,Savage did make control fed actions on the WSM chambered rifles.
