chrispti Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Recently picked up a new Mauser M12 Max, looking forward to shooting it this weekend as Iv not had a chance to fire it yet !! Anyone else got one ? Any particular brands of ammo in .308 seem favourable?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Nice bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawdor118 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I have one and have tried - Norma BT 150grn, RWS Kone 150grn, federal Powershock 150 and Winchester 150... none of them were what I would class as brilliant. I wouldn't mind trying something heavier - around 165 to see if it shoots better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cawdor118 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I thought the hexalock mounts were appalling quality. M12 max in .243 with jewelled bolt and hexalock mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cawdor118 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Honestly, the welding / casting was very pourus and one was extremely loose. Go with the picittany rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
