New Mauser M 12 Rifle to Be Distributed by Blaser USA
Earlier this month we ran a story on the new Sauer 101 rifle. It turns out the Sauer 101 will be distributed in the U.S. by Blaser USA. Here’s more good news for hunters — we’ve learned that Blaser will be bringing another new German hunting rifle to the USA — the Mauser M 12. You’ll find specs and photos of the M 12 below.

Call me crazy, but I wish they would bring the M98 to our shores.
New Mauser M98’s are kind of expensive. The entry level “Standard” model costs about 13,300 dollars (without sales tax).

(The prices in the link include German sales tax.)
Read the M12 goes for a cool $6K US.
The Mauser M12 Extreme costs $1646 (without sales tax) in Germany.
Why do theses companies all think we want actions that lock the bolt head into the barrel? What we want is a refined Mauser 98 with modern touches. So a Mauser 98 with either a fat bolt 3-6 lug bolt head forged from one piece of steel. Locks into the receiver not the barrel. Machined preise and true enough to build a BR gun out of if so moved.Inertial ejector and M16 extractor. 3 position safety. Really nice smooth elegant lines. Barrel nut so we can change barrels easily. Nice wood and really nice synthetic option. Either a Mauser 98 foot print or Reminton 700 foot print so stocks are easy to find. I am betting Remington sells more rifles in Europe than Mauser does. The standard action should be able to handle up to .338LM. Short action should be good for ELD/VLD bullets on short action cartridges with no COAL issues.
Editor: The bolt-in-barrel is a big advantage for European rifle owners. Some European countries restrict the number of rifles citizens may own. With a system like this, you have one action that can shoot multiple cartridge types with a quick barrel swap and the barrel is essentially a “pre-fit” available from the factory.
