Evans when did you order yours? I ordered this morning. Fingers crossed 😁
Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don't fence me in.

I just sold off my entire Blaser R93 collection, and I want to have 1 really good rifle to hunt everything with. Going from an R93 to an M12 seems like going backwards to me. But, I have no experience with either. I would appreciate your views and insights on that transition. Just don't like the straight-pull action?

I had many barrels over the years, and all shot well. I had a K95 as well, an liked that. I can understand you thinking it's backwards move In a nutshell, I got tired of it. All the loose parts, storing barrels, etc M12 I really all I need.

What are you all planning on scoping your new M12’s with? I just ordered a Steiner GS3 2-10x42 with the 4a reticle. Should make a really nice combo.

I ordered one of the M12 Impact Black 308 rifle for $499. Couldn't pass it up.
Order went through fine.
Steal of a deal
So much for thinning that herd!

I have one that is supposed to be delivered today, SHOULD be getting it tomorrow. Will let you know what it is if no one’s reported yet. I’m pretty solid that it is the M12 Black Impact advertised for up to $1500ish on the European gun sites.

These rifle ARE Mauser M12’s. Very good rifle for the $, lightweight, light trigger, I’m very happy with it. Came with a 1 piece rail in box with a Recknagel label on it and the only thing different would be I don’t see a threaded muzzle.

Did anyone notice the wood-stocked ones for the same price? You have to hit the right-arrow to see them.
Listing says .30/06, but the description says .270. Wouldn’t matter to me really.
Wa sorely tempted, but have three regular Mausers, am getting old, and have stuff standing in corners.
What fresh Hell is this?
