One rifle to rule them all?

Contributor Barb Melloni gives readers an overview on the favored cartridges of our hunting cousins across the pond.

In celebration of its 125th anniversary, Mauser has introduced a limited-edition series of the original Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle.

Here are a handful of cartridges that have fallen out of favor with the general hunting public, but still worthy of your time afield.

Both cartridges are classics, have been used for all sorts of game and are easy on the shoulder, but which offers the best performance for hunters? Contributor Philip Massaro compares the two and picks the winner.

Old is not dead, and though the 8x57 has had to endure vast improvements in cartridge design, powder development and bullet performance, it remains a perfectly viable hunting cartridge.

If you’re in the market for an affordable rifle that’s robust and extremely accurate, Mauser’s new M18 is worth a hard look.

If you’re looking for a rifle of larger diameter than your deer gun, which will complement the 7mms and .30s well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser should be a definite contender.

One hundred four years after it was designed, the venerable .416 Bore made famous on the game fields of Africa is again being made in London on a genuine Mauser Magnum action.
