A N EW T WIST TO AN O LD T ALE
In this technological day and age, development is advancing at an increasingly rapid pace. Who is still interested in the ingenious ideas of our forefathers? To us at Mauser, the values that were created around 140 years ago are pure inspiration. Mauser was one of the first manufacturers to combine highest-quality materials and workmanship with a brilliantly designed, absolutely fail-safe rifle system. Spurred on by enthusiastic hunters, the Mauser rifle technology has been brought to new maturity time and time again. We regard this history as a mission and share with our customers the fascination for a living legend.

With the development of the bolt action rifle 98 towards the end of the 19th century, the Mauser brothers set a milestone in gun making history. Up until today the 98 action has formed the basis for the hugely successful models M 98 and M 98 Magnum. The M 98 action today is manufactured according to the original drawings but with the most modern of manufacturing methods.

By launching the M 66 in 1966, Mauser introduces a new bolt action rifle which is thoroughly tailored to the demands of hunting. The revolutionary telescopic construction makes it approx. 6 cm shorter than the M 98 action while accepting the same ammunition. Just like the M 98, the M 66 system lays the foundation for extremely rugged bolt action technology.

The introduction of the M 03 in 2003 marks the dawn of a new era for the Mauser company. The M 03 represents once again the successful alliance of traditional Mauser values and modern qualities such as modular construction, versatility and perfection in design. The M 03 will ensure that the name Mauser maintains a leading position in rifle manufacturing far into the future.

All over the world, the evolution of Mauser firearm technology is closely associated with the history of hunting. We remain true to our roots. Inspiration for new developments is always the result of first-hand hunting experience and stands on a solid basis of established technology.
