Mauser definitely ain’t the rifles the came to love anymore.
Within the Blaser Group, the priorities as as follows…
Blaser, Sauer, Rigby, Mauser.
The Mauser is now seen as the entry into the Blaser Group selection.
They’re hoping that everyone that buys an M18 will upgrade to one of the other brands.
Problem is that most M18 users find the rifle quite acceptable for their purposes, and have no interest in upgrading to anything more expensive or luxurious.
Mauser should give us a rifle that we as the hunting public actually want.
An affordable CRF rifle that can be carried from Tajikistan to the Congo.
In proven calibres with standard barrel lengths.
Nobody is asking for exhibition grade Turkish walnut and ebony stock with an elaborate engraving, or a 0.70oz benchrest trigger.
Winchester got it right with the current Model 70.
Why can’t Mauser?
