Mauser M18

A continuation of Creedmoor Fever is called LRHS (Long Range Hunting Syndrome.) It’s the second stage of the disease, and those afflicted with it are desperate for rifles that shoot just a little faster and flatter than the 6.5 Creedmoor. Hornady helped with a cure last year when they introduced the 6.5 PRC cartridge. The problem is factory rifles chambered for this cartridge have been slow making it to market. Well, here’s an option; the less than $700.00 Mauser M18, with its crafty secret compartment in the butt stock, is now available in 6.5 PRC. Yeah, it’s available in a lot of other popular cartridges too, but I’m not sure anyone cares; with a highly contagious disease sweeping the world, folks are desperate for treatment. (Richard Mann)
