I want/need a new gun.
Gents I'm looking at a new factory rifle. The Mauser M18 is at a good price. Anyone know much about them?

shanksponyMy brother bought one a few months back. In .243.
It shoots well, but most rifles do these days. Just my view but its a completely fine rifle that wont knock your socks off. Its more a rifle to be used as a tool.
As such I think choose a rifle that suits your purpose because all the rifles in that price range will do the same job. Sauer 100 is essentially the same rifle I understand, But Tikka T3, Howa 1500, Ruger will all do the same at similar price.
What caliber and what use are you thinking?

30.06kingShanks probably sums it up.
Only thing I would add is any online review / comment I've seen is pretty positive. Most seem to say it's good value for the cost. I believe on this model a barrel change is possible if you eventually want to go that route.
Good luck. And, please do say what caliber and use you are thinking.
Cheers

shanksponyTalked to mike today, he reckons its incredibly accurate. The only thing that lets it down is the stock which is quite flexible.
I'm actually thinking 30-06 mate. Sambar legal.
All online review are all positive. I'm looking at the Sauer and Howa as well. What I end up getting will depend of the size of my tax refund
