MAUSER 18 Waldjagd

I've considered the M18 Mauser for a while now, saw them go on sale a couple times for a fair price but the plastic and all the polymer turn me off. Saw a review that showed that even the trigger was made of plastic:confused:......thats a bit to much plastic for my taste. Im okay with polymer trigger guard and mag but trigger??

Much rather buy a Sauer 100 than the mauser m18. I had one in 8x57 that i sold off after a couple seasons which i regret. It shot 1/2" groups, had bottom metal, and a sturdy stock.

Actually the Sauer 100 has a polymer “plastic” trigger as well, at least mine does. I guess they use the same trigger for both models.

The iron sights, since very few rifles are available with iron sights in Canada, also the Ruger GSR is now very difficult to buy and is approximately $1600-$1700. These rifles are meant for hunting in the woods (waldjagd - hunting in the woods) and they have a short heavy medium weight barrel of 20 inches, where as the Mauser 18 without iron sights the barrel length is 22 inches. The factory that makes these rifles in Germany also manufacturers the Sauer and Blaser firearms. The Mauser importer in Canada is MD Charlton, however I tried contacting them but I never heard back from them. A comparable rifle would be the Tikka Battue, however the Tikka has a single stack magazine while the Mauser has a double stack magazine.

True regular model does not come with iron sights but if it was me I would install a red dot like they use for driven boar hunts in Europe, also better in low light. As far as hunting in the woods, you would not notice the extra 2” of barrel length and I would much rather have the extra barrel length for higher velocity but that’s just me.
