And it looks great!

Looks pretty slick. Not crazy about the red cocking indicator. I assume the lawyers made them put that on there. Couldn't find any info on pricing though.

Looks good to me! Maybe it will be affordable.

mine!

If that's a Mauser, a Volt is a '56 Chevy.

Looks an awful lot like a pushfeed Model 70 with detachable magazine.

It's apparently going to be priced to compete with the Sako 85. That's what's being said here anyway.

As for a model 70 lookalike - the 3 position safety is the only similarity - in fact the shroud looks a little like the Heym bolt action.

Looks very strong and having the bolt lock up in the barrel will mean it should be accurate too.

If my M03 is anything to go by, I'd take it over a Sako any day! Or a model 70!

I have to wonder about the dual ejectors. I looks like it will throw the brass up into the scope. Maybe that's why the scope wasn't on it, other than to open it up to see. The SRS is just the Win. 3-pos. Also, the "open" receiver is again without the scope, so not much different than others. Wood looks very nice. It should be a nice rifle.

Regarding double ejectors. Watch the 8odd minute youtube on it and see how the older chap ejects an empty case. Ejects well clear, shooting off low and well to the right.

Kinda what I was thinking. Interesting looking rifle nonetheless.

I wonder if it is a one size fits all action like the Tikka?

Are these made by Sig?
IIRC, Mauser pretty much got out of the civilian market.

Looks like an Abolt raped a CPRF M70 and [bleep] a 2000$ Euro-gimmick out.

No claw extractor!? Ole man Mauser is rolling in his grave.

IMO the best rifles come from Europe!

Their M98 version has that. 15K later
I like the all the features of this rifle. Whether I buy 1 is another story, but, if the price is right and the weights are accurate it will be hard to resist

Pass the 700 please... grin

The M12 will differ slightly to the 700 in that it won't have a detachable bolt handle......

how much?

Don't much care for the look of the bolt shroud, but it's blocky shape might be needed to house the rear end reworks.

Price?

LOL or a extractor that goes PING.......

I really dig the lines these rifles exhibit, classy!

Sure would like one in 8x57.

Amen brother!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure most of us would love to own a 98, the real Mauser. The closest I will likely ever come to owning one is my CZ 550. Yow, I know, it is a primitive Mauser at best. I do like the looks of the new Mauser 12 and the 60 degree bolt throw, in my opinion, is a nice feature. The action on my (often bashed) Browning X-Bolt functions as well or better than any rifle I own. If the extractors are even close to being Mauser-like, I'm sold. And, I've owned a '57 Chevy but would not consider owning a Volt!!

4 weeks to go!

Sauer 101 / Mauser M12..........?????same rifle???


Dont care for the polymer stock though a big MINUS of such rifle which is to go up against the Sako 85. Line em both up against the Sako 85...........no contest. Sako 85 all the way.

Sauer 101 and Mauser M12 share some parts (barrel, bolt, trigger, magazine). Different action, different safety and different stocks though.
Mauser 98 scope bases fit the M12, Remington 700 scope bases fit the Sauer 101.

Prices in the US are likely to be far beyond X-Bolt, T3 and others.

Bought myself a Sauer 101, I kinda like the concept. Range report will follow soon.

The biggest drawback I could figure, is the barrel is pressed into the action.


In a hunting rifle only shot 100 rounds a year ( maybe max for somebody ), the rifle will last years. If you shoot more, it will probably be very expensive to change the barrel ( think send it back to Europe ).

Changing a barrel that is shrinked into the action is not that difficult. But as the bolt locks up in the barrel new barrels are likely to be expensive.

Thanks for the thread. I let this one slip up on me. As a guy that has three real Mausers and a 1903 Springfield custom, I like what I see. Compared to their offerings of the last many years, it has an appealing look. No, it is not a '56 Chev ( translate '98 ).

It will likely come in a medium long action. Europeans do not seem to be as critical on multiple action lengths as we are. My reference is the long gone small Sako action. Also the barrels with integral locking will probably be expensive. Blaser barrels now run from $1100 up at retail, just as an example. Accuracy could be great, but my concern is the mounts are on the receiver rather than the slip fit barrel.???

This is something I would have an interest in, were I in the market for another bolt gun. I like the look and some of the features. After all, I do not drive a '56 anything. Jack
