OUR VERDICT
The Mauser M12 range of bolt-action rifles is a perfect example of a company moving with the times in terms of new innovations and technology, while insisting on old-world build quality. Mauser has always been a trusted and respected brand and this new M12 Max thumbhole laminate-stocked rifle wants for nothing, combining great accuracy, handling and ruggedness for a very practical stalking firearm.
Retailing at £2,952, it offers a good choice of calibres, from .243 Win, .270 Win, .308 Win (on test), .30-06 Spring, 6,5x55 SE, 7x57, 7x64, 8x57 IS, 9,3x62, 7mm Rem Mag to .300 Win
