The Mauser M03 is an ingenious piece of kit. Over engineered by Mauser, the original price point kept many buyers away, but the quality is clearly there. It's a full take-down system, a little different from Dakota in that the forearm is fixed, but the action/barrel integrity is very well engineered. Torx25 is required to remove the barrels and new barrels can be added. Mauser even built in cool functionality to provide a true one gun every situation - the bolt heads can be changed easily to allow for a different cartridge family. The biggest complaint I've seen on the M03 is weight - but that's certainly not an issue with this 458 Lott where a few extra ounces are something to be joyful about. This one weighs 8lbs, 13ozs on my scale and has a 26" barrel.

Other calibers that can fit with just a barrel change include: 270 WSM, 300 WSM, 7mm Rem, 300 WM, 300 Weatherby, 8mmx68, 338 WM, 375 H&H, 416 Rem. Having said that the barrels are difficult to find.

This is just the rifle, I do not have any extras with it, and it's priced accordingly. Amazing quality and engineering. $3495 plus shipping.

Excellent rifle. Manual cooking. Safari contour barrel and locking magazine. It is one of the latest models.
Parts are very difficult to find right now.

If anyone is interested, Optics Trade still have in stock 3 different scope mounts for the M03: Swarovski and Zeiss rails and Dentler base.
 
I prefer the factory base, but the Dentler also works effectively, and there's also a pic rail available if you want to go that route.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
