Looks a solid rifle. You could imagine this being the one rifle you'd reach in the cabinet for whether it was stalking, foxing or just enjoying some good honest time behind the trigger 🙏

[@garysmitherman]

Looks stunning!

[@humanafterall2076]

My one regret with Mauser is that I sold the one that my grandfather returned from WW2 Germany with. He had an officer surrender to him and handed him his Walther and Mauser both engraved. The Mauser shot like a charm, I sold it to buy a Sako L579 in 270 Win, another tremendous rifle. But that Mauser put smiles on just looking at it. Firing it was an honour. Nice review, Mauser and Sako have sweet actions, and deadly accurate to boot.

HUGE mistake !!!!

Great Rifle the Mauser M18 , Great Review Chris 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@gregchapman5556]

Lovely gun Chris. Wait for the complaints about laying the rifle upside down on the scope 😂😂.

[@WEEGIMEDIA]

I was gutted when I shouldered the M18 and it didn’t feel right, it was the synthetic with hollow stock, really decent price point .

[@Alex-gi7sm]

Great looking rifle. Can you confirm that the trigger and trigger housing are made from plastic? Cheers.

[@ericrumpel3105]

.....another cheap-to-manufacture gruesome round bottom action, I commend you on your videos for sharing views of the action, Thank You Sir.

Feel free to spend more if you want

[@MrHjelmgren]

Looks to be very similar to a Sauer 100. What would you say are the major differences?

[@tommcqueen3145]

👍

[@MrScalesie]

Hi Chris I just bought the standard version of this rifle and was wondering what ammunition it liked best ? I do understand that no two rifles are identical but it would be a good place to start from thanks

[@chrisparkin431]

I used what was seen in the video

[@orglj4857]

Man, you should make a review on one of the expensive mauser 98 models

[@chrisparkin431]

I shall ask

[@orglj4857]

@@chrisparkin431 appreciate it

[@tommcqueen3145]

I'm sure about that recoil lug

Wot mod was you using Chris

I wish you can make a review for Haenel Jaeger NXT.

[@chrisparkin431]

I have, look at my videos

[@housearea]

@@chrisparkin431 oh sorry.! Did you make a Part 2 of Pard 007sp night vision?

[@patrickmines8099]

How can I get one in the USA?

[@keithweathersbee1]

Hi Chris, I know that I have asked this before, but, forgive an old fart. What is the cause and how can you correct for bolt handle movement during discharge? Keith.

[@chrisparkin431]

Get a tight blueprinted action and not a sporting rifle if you feel it's costing you😉

[@TheSzteroid]

Hello.The trigger guard is steel or synthetic???

[@chrisparkin431]

Watch the video

[@TheSzteroid]

​@@chrisparkin431I watch the video and stopped and play it again, but i didnt saw the trigger guard material.. Só please answer me. Steel or synthetic

[@chrisparkin431]

@@TheSzteroid it's polymer, just as described in the video

[@anthonygurirab8268]

Name of the suppressor?

[@chrisparkin431]

Sauer

[@RootedCactuz153]

Hi Chirs. Performance doesnt seem to be as good as your personal Mauser M12 video you posted about 2 weeks ago. I can see a bigger dispersion with this rifle. Why do you think that is? It also looks worse than the M18 Fenris video you did a year ago

[@chrisparkin431]

No two rifles of identical specification shoot identically and regardless, the ammo is from different batches, different specifications and calibres. That is why manufacturers suggest a tolerance and not an exact group size

[@dawielubbe9443]

A bedding job could also improve accuracy

[@garybalasa3158]

The 223 here in Australia anyway has a single stack magazine and will not top load through the rifle

[@chrisparkin431]
