Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Mauser M18

Anyone have any experience with these rifles? Good, bad, ugly, indifferent?

Very accurate, good trigger, smooth bolt, really long length of pull. Pay attention to the LOP if you don't have long arms. I'm 5'11" and it's a crawl behind the stock.

There is a thread on them half way down this page

Yeah I don't know WTF is up with these long stocks.The Sauer 100 and new CZ 600 are really long too. Don't know whether those clowns think we're all 6' 6" or what. Particularly with heavy clothing on during deer season, that's way too long for me and I'm almost 6 foot. Not sure you could even shorten the M18 stock with that goofy storage compartment in there. They can keep the fuggin thing as far as I'm concerned. It would end up costing me deer when I need to shoulder my rifle quickly and shoot fast.

Some of the smoothest actions I’ve ever worked Great trigger, every one I’ve seen have been tack drivers, literally half inch or better. They have polymer triggers, trigger guards, part of the stock,.and the bolt shroud is also polymer, otherwise it’s the same as the Sauer 101 other than a few cosmetics and bolt handle. I’ve got a few m12’s and I’d take them over most all Sako’s I own as a hunting rifle.
