The Mauser M18 is the current entry-level production hunting rifle from Mauser, designed to bring the Mauser name into the budget-to-mid-tier hunting rifle market. Produced in Germany, the M18 uses a two-lug bolt with 90-degree throw and polymer stock. The M18 represents Mauser's attempt to compete with Tikka, Bergara, and Browning in the practical hunting rifle segment at under $800. The "Mauser-style" controlled-round-feed of the classic 98 action is not present — the M18 uses a push-feed design for production simplicity. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .308 Winchester Capacity: 5 Year introduced: 2018, Germany Weight: 144 oz Overall length: 44" Status: Active Intended use: hunting, hunting_big_game
