Great review, I have a M12 30.06 and a Sauer 100 .223. I can shoot MOA or less @200m - 300m with either all day but with the M12's lighter barrel it gets whippy pretty quick. I'm waiting on a M18 LR in 308 (or maybe 6.5C). I love these rifles accuracy and the bang for $$$ is outstanding.
I've owned a Steyr and have handled the M18. The M18 stock is definitely not as good! The Steyr stock is really solid. I'm keen to get a Sauer 100, the bolt is smoother on the Mauser but the Sauer feels better and all reports accuracy wise are outstanding even though they are close relatives with some interchangeable parts and both made by Sauer.
Hey mate, it’s a bolt action, so you don’t need to go too over the top. Store it with a light coat of oil. Wipe it dry before use. Lubricant attracts dirt and crud, and will not benefit the operation of the rifle. After firing pull through the barrel and re-oil.
I bought an M18 several years ago in 300 WinMag. I love this thing. Ironically, I bought it for use with an electronic/night vision scope. However use of such scopes is now illegal in my state so I cannot use it for its intended purpose. Anyway, it has made several rifles now obsolete or at least redundant. Due to the heavy electronic scope, I bought this because of its light weight and good reviews and I found a great deal. Something awesome I found is that the loads I shoot in my Remington 700 "Police" (target) rifle shoot to the same point of impact as the M18 so they can share handloads! Awesome rifle that outclasses many of the others in this price range. The only downside is that I cannot fine any accessories to change or adjust any of the features but it's pretty awesome as-is.
I have one in .270 for State Forest hunting and love the thing. Does the job every time. Well done on the channel mate. No nonsense and good content. Much appreciated
Hey mate I’ve got a M18 308 win and I love it. 🇦🇺👍 I understand my lucky 13 mags fit in a Sauer 308/243 etc. I own Tikka, Howa and can’t fault the people’s rifle .... Love it . Good content keep up the good work we need more Aussies like you 🏁🦘🐻🤛🏿🏁
I bought a M18 in 308 and it’s magic I love it more than the sauer 100 my friend has and he said I should have got - I prefer the M18 - a rifleman’s rifle
My first rifle. Owned about 6 months. I bought 5 different boxes of ammo and all of them shoot within 3 moa. I reckon most of that is me.. Of course I sprayed quite a few at the start. In 3006... Das is good ya?
does american ammo cause a sticking problem feeding ammo, i used federal ammo an sometime the shell would not feed. with out backing out an try again/ PPU works better but not smooth like other bolts rifle i have had. SORRY about my grammar an english i am old 73 an my american is rusty i for get a lot but love to hunt.
Damn it now that’s made me miss mine but my safety had to be faulty it as it would go straight to fire even over the shoulder it would click off only reason o got rid of it
My Mauser m18 is in a .300win and its an absolute beast i use it with a xm30 pulsar thermion for night hunting and i cannot fault the set up at all every shot has been a kill. definitely a brilliant hunting rifle.
Good review mate, I am a big fan of these rifles. My brother has one in .270 and it's great. My only gripe with them is the stock felt a bit cheap and hollow compared to my Tikka, and the magazine retention spring would randomly come out. But at 2/3rds the price of the Tikka, with a similar weight, trigger, action, and accuracy, it's a winner I reckon.
I'm tossing up between one of these and a Howa 1500 Hogue stock for my first hunting rifle what's your thoughts on the mauser's stock? I hear there both good shooters.
My first rifle was a Mauser M18 .308 and I just love it to bits. Great first centrefire rifle - would recommend to anyone. Great review, mate.
same here! My first rifle
Bought one of these in 300 win mag for my first rifle a few months ago can’t wait to take it out now that lockdowns finally ending
Please let us know how it goes.
I’m thinking about getting the same.. not that I need it, but there’s some very tempting deals around on them.

Thanks for the review - thanks to this video have a good contender for my first rifle :)
I've got one, it didn't come with a pic rail, had to buy they rail separate, good shooter though.

The m18 can hit at 1000m dude for a 900 dollar rifle that’s nuts
@@NHGJordanAbbott send the link
@@kosiekoos9408 the link of the m18 at 1000 or the firearm for sale
only review i have seen of this rifle which actually describes the smooth operation of the action. Thank You!!
I'm new to guns and hunting. I bought a m18 in .270win. Would you please make a how to lube and maintain a m18? I can't find info anywhere.

Do the bolt lugs lock into the barrel like a Sauer or the action like a Remington?
Locking lugs are are of the receiver.
They need to make a stainless model.
They do

The way the bolt handle is connected to the bolt is a weak point .

Love my m18 308. First rifle. Shoots like a dream. Claimed 6 pigs with it in my first pig trip.

I love PPU, people bag it out but I get sub MOA with it in my tikka tx3 lite and remi 7600.
Yeah man, its pretty good stuff.
I picked it up in 30-06 definitely my favourite firearm so far.
In my country m18 mouser costs 2200 euros can you belive it !!!

3moa?? That’s spraying it everywhere
I could throw a rock with better accuracy
hey mate good vid... can you top load the mag without removing it...kinda like the old ruger and rem 700 and sako?
As far as I am aware, yes.
Nice. Nearly bought one of these for my first.
should have haha she is gtg
does american ammo cause a sticking problem feeding ammo, i used federal ammo an sometime the shell would not feed. with out backing out an try again/ PPU works better but not smooth like other bolts rifle i have had. SORRY about my grammar an english i am old 73 an my american is rusty i for get a lot but love to hunt.
Not that I have seen mate.
I had that issue with federal too, but now its ok. I thought it was just me. My first rifle so don't know much about much
Lucky he's Australian then, he understood what you ment.
Damn it now that’s made me miss mine but my safety had to be faulty it as it would go straight to fire even over the shoulder it would click off only reason o got rid of it
I dont know what you mean? it sould fire while in the sling on your shoulder?
My shoulder knows I bought the 30-06 version M18, butt pad is a must
When I can get my license. It's gonna be ruger ranch .223 and perhaps a dozen magpul mags
My M-18 in 6.5 PRC won't feed reliably, making it totally unsuitable for hunting.
No to plastic bolt shrouds. Bedding & recoil lug? Padlock?
There’s a reason why Tikka are selling so many rifles and it’s because they’re an excellent rifle.
After owning one, I've changed my stance on Tikkas. However I still do think they are a tad overhyped.
Yet tikka only backs their product for 2 years vs Mauser 10
@@mickp1978 my Tikka still works just fine after 10 years lol

Mate, I use Fiocchi 168 grain and regularly get under MOA out of my M18
Great review, to the point. I am extremely pleased with my M18 in 300 win mag. Gets the job done with very little fuss!
Great review. Legitimately laughed out loud at the Tikka/fanboy comment. I have 3, so i appreciate the comment. Cheers.
I also have 3 tikkas haha
Pencil barrel is a no-go, even for a hunting rifle. 😕
I think that’s a matter of preference.

Compared to sub $1000 rifles the stock is pretty good, but definitely not as good as tikka. Thanks for the comment mate
Great review. Thanks!
Liked and subbed 👍🏼
Thanks mate
I'm tossing up between one of these and a Howa 1500 Hogue stock for my first hunting rifle what's your thoughts on the mauser's stock? I hear there both good shooters.
I would pick a Mauser over a howa any day
@@fhckoutdoors the Howa's do seem a little heavy. Nice work on all the videos man.
@@Andrew-bt2by they are, especially with the hogue stock.
I agree, the Mauser springs to the shoulder better.
Kinda wish it had a rail could fit it with a pump
Ummmmmmmm what?
@@fhckoutdoors If you have a double sided rail length permitting. You can build a pump handle with a caming mechanism.
@@RNA0ROGER oooooooooooooooooo yeah
this is without a doubt the best youtube channel there is.
Thanks
That mark on the wall is doing my ocd in lol good review mate ty
