Mauser 25

[FlyGuy]

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?

I will sign for this instantly.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up, my guess is it’s something to compete with everything else in the 1500-2000 price point.

Mauser got it right in 1898 but has strayed from perfection. Some things can’t be improved upon but fools continue to try. cheaper doesn’t mean better.

If the majority of the hunting public cared about CRF, the market would be producing them. That’s how the free market works. In reality, most hunters and probably nearly all shooters are perfectly fine with push feed rifles

Most probably don't even know what a crf rifle is or care.....and as for the m12 I will say again a very nice rifle ...and the mo3 I would have had over one of those r8 things....but then again you couldn't give me one of those....the m18 I presume was to get into the cheap end of the market in usa where thousands of that type of rifle are sold....they don't compare to the m12 are in a lot cheaper bracket....but nothing wrong with them

Right. For most consumers a bolt action is a bolt action. And really they're not wrong. When you get right down to it, the CRF vs push feed debate is mostly a matter of asthetics. When asthetics is weighed against $$$, in today's world the latter will always win, especially if function is not a factor. I don't own a push feed and probably never will (just worked out that way). But I have shot game with a push feed and the meat tasted the same to me.

This new £2K Mauser won't be CRF. I'll lay money on it.

If they are selling CRF rifle for 15K (I checked today), certainly they will not sell another CRF for 2K.

Nothing wrong with a good push feed.
Especially in smaller cartridges.
The good old Remington 700 is an excellent action, that’s stood the test of time, and one of the most accurate hunting rifles I’ve personally used was a post-64 Winnie in 25-06.

The M03 was the best rifle Mauser made since the pre-war Gewehr 98!
As mentioned, production ceased due to the high cost of production vs. selling price.
If sold at its actual worth, it would be more expensive than the Blaser R8.

The M12 is a good rifle.
It was designed and priced to compete at the same price point as the Sako 85.
I still have no idea why Mauser decided to go for a press fit barrel, instead of a threaded barrel.
At the time, I was looking for a 243 and the press fit barrel made me look at other options. Ended up with a Tikka.

The M18 was Mauser’s answer to the Tikka T3 X, Savage 110, Howa 1500, Ruger American etc.
For the money, it’s a great shooting rifle, but everything about it looks and feels cheap. Ideal truck rifle.

If the M25 is a straight pull, it will be squarely aimed at the the Beretta BRX and Savage Impulse.

As mentioned before, Winchester got it right with the current Model 70, and they retail for around the $2k mark.
They are very well made and accurate rifles too.

Why can’t Mauser do it?

Because of EU labor laws, social programs, and other regulations, which drive up operating costs and overhead. Running a manufacturing business, much less a gun manufacturing business, especially in London, is taking on some of the highest overhead in the world and the prices reflect that business environment.

If this is the new Mauser M25 I feel it is quite a dissapointment, looks more or less like a Blaser R8...

Pretty much the Mauser version of the Blaser R8. Not surprising seeing as they share a parent company.

At least it is ergonomic, unlike that 96 monstrosity that they sold off to Roessler.

Looks pretty good in wood. If that is selling for $2500 it will be huge in Europe
