Mauser M18
anyone have any experience with them? My FFL buddy has one in .308 and one in 30-06 for $699. Synthetic stock with butt stock storage compartment and no glass. I am not a fan of the recoil from the 30-06, and something tells me that hollow butt stock will only make it worse. Im thinking if it came with wood furniture it would be a hell of a rifle for the price range.

There was a nice review of that one in American Rifleman. As a NE hunting rifle, I'd rather have the 243 or 308, if I were in the market.

better trigger than my Sakos in that caliber and just as accurate.
The M18 looks to be competing with Tikka T3(x) and Sauer 100.
I'd be willing to bet some of your money it will compete accuracy wise.

My main concern would be parts (and accessories) as both of these rifles age.
