There have been multiple discussions on the M12 & M18 here and I think everyone is pretty pleased with their's. I don't think you can go wrong with one.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

If the LOP works for you, they're nice rifles.

That sounds correct, re: the half inch. Someone -- Shawn maybe? -- had a thread about the process of shortening it. I had an M12 when they were on super sale from SM but the fit just couldn't work.

awhile back Academy Sports had Mauser 18s on clearance in my area. They had synthetics stocks, dont remember the calibers they had though.
