IN HUNTER’S HANDS 

THORSTEN MANN 

CEO & MASTER GUNSMITH MAUSER JAGDWAFFEN 

A NEW TWIST TO 

AN OLD TALE 

“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”.

SHAPING A CULTURE 

1871 Company Foundation 1898 Action 98 

INCITED BY HUNTING 

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.

History 

THE EVOLUTION OF A LEGEND 

1966 

Action 66 2003 Action 03 

2010 

THE ARCHETYPE OF THE 

INNOVATIVE BOLT ACTION 

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 HISTORY OF GUN MAKING 

IN THE 21ST CENTURY 

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. 

Please find further information on pages 18 / 19. 

A STRONG FUTURE BUILT, 

ON A STRONG HERITAGE 

“Since primeval times, hunters have been motivated to constantly 

bring their tools to perfection. Each and every stage of 

development is based on existing and time-tested technology. 

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.”

History

M03 SYSTEM 

The M 03’s safety and reliability as well as its versatility are achieved by a clever pairing of modern 

materials and technical design. The alliance of various factors such as the solid steel action and high 

quality-trigger in combination with the straight stock and cold hammer forged barrel result in 

the M 03’s exceptional precision and performance. 

1 2 

3 

4 

Mauser Manual Cocking Safety System: 

The M 03 is cocked manually just prior to 

shooting. Cocking: Move the cocking lever to the 

right into the “Fire” position (Fig. 1). De-cocking: 

Press the de-cocking button; cocking lever 

slides back to the “Safe” position (Fig. 2). 

5 

Action and Locking 

The action is locked via 6 large locking lugs directly into the 

barrel (Fig. 5). Small Bolt Lift: 60°. 

Bolt Lock: 

In the un-cocked status the bolt is locked to 

prevent unintentional opening. It can be 

opened by pushing the cocking lever beyond 

the “S” position without cocking the rifle 

(Fig. 3). 

6 

Mauser Trigger System 

Crisp single stage trigger as standard (approx. 1,500 g / 

3 1 /4 lbs). Combi trigger on request (Not available in the US. 

Fig. 6) with adjustable set trigger (approx. 1,000 g / 2 1 /8 lbs 

direct; set trigger pull weight approx. 100 — 300 g / 3 1 /2 — 10 1 /2 

ozs). The set trigger automatically unsets when the rifle is 

de-cocked or the bolt opened — a major safety advantage. 

Advanced Magazine Construction 

Detachable magazine. Open Receiver enables rapid, easy 

loading from above even with inserted magazine (Fig. 4). High 

magazine capacity, lockable magazine release button – for 

tough hunting conditions the magazine can be reliably secured 

against loss. 

M03 RIFLE SCOPE 

MOUNT 

The easy to handle scope mount makes the Mauser M 03 line 

complete. It offers utmost repeatable accuracy and easy rifle 

scope change. 

8 Main fig. M 03 De Luxe with special figured curlwood grade 7, DSM and rifle scope (optional). Please find further options and exquisite extras on pages 28 — 38.

7 

Mauser Double Square Mount 

The M 03 comes prepared for the Original Mauser Double 

Square Mount (DSM) as standard: The DSM allows for very low 

scope mounting with optimum return-to-zero accuracy for all 

standard scopes and red dot sights. The scope is easily 

mounted and locked (Fig. 7). 


History

LIVE YOUR PASSION 

“Developed for passionate hunting, designed for hard use, 

shaped and equipped for the eyes of the connoisseur.” 

M03 BASIC 

As a classic, solid rifle with modern functions 

and qualities the M 03 fulfills highest 

requirements in terms of safety, shooting 

performance, trigger characteristics and 

resilience. The M 03’s design reveals a keen 

sense for shape and detail: the classic walnut 

stock (wood grade 2) features a black 

fore-end tip, thoroughly cut fish scale 

checkering, cheekpiece and recoil pad. Barrel, 

action, steel sights and smaller parts are 

plasma nitrided and thus highly protected 

against corrosion.

GO TO EXTREMES 

History 

“If you want to exceed your own limits the M 03 Extreme 

gives you the liberty to do so. Neither extreme climate nor 

rough handling can affect its state-of-the-art performance.” 

M03 EXTREME 

The synthetic stock stands in perfect 

harmony with the classic appearance of the 

M 03. In combination with the high-quality 

steel of action and barrel, it embodies a rifle 

which is able to cope with any weather 

conditions like extreme heat, cold or 

moisture. 

The high-density, shatter-proof and noiseless 

synthetic stock features black non-slip 

elastomer inlays. The sling swivel can be 

found on the tip of the fore-end. Also a bi-pod 

adapter can be attached to the fore-end. 

The M 03 Extreme is also available in the 

Africa, Solid and Match versions.

MORE WEIGHT, MORE STABILITY 

“The perfect interplay of weight and 

balance ensures utmost target accuracy – both on long 

distances and for a good swing on driven hunts.” 

M03 SOLID 

The M 03 Solid‘s distinctive characteristics 

are a thick barrel profile and full-steel open 

sights. It plays to its strenghts on longdistance 

shots as well as on driven hunts 

which often require a good swing through a 

fast moving target. The adjustable M 03 

full-steel open sights come with a cupro 

nickel inlay. Available in short barrel lengths.

ONLY THE BEST SUCCEED 

“It is natural law that the strongest creatures make 

their way. Just like the M 03 Africa. It is on the track to becoming 

a classic in big game hunting.” 

M03 AFRICA 

The M 03 Africa‘s excellent balance ensures 

rapid and intuitive aiming. In order to reduce 

the recoil of heavy calibers, each M 03 Africa 

features an extra strong, long barrel and a 

kick-stop installed in the stock. 

The M 03 Africa barrel can be chosen as an 

inter changeable barrel. 

The buck horn rear sight with cupro nickel 

contrast inlay can be adjusted for windage, 

the front sight with a 4 mm sharp-focus 

cupro nickel bead can be adjusted for 

elevation. The sling swivel and the base for 

the front sight are mounted on the barrel 

using a steel band to endure the toughest 

hunting conditions.

ON THE SAFE SIDE 

“The hunting guide‘s rifle can save lives. This is why it has 

to be as agile, quick and reliable as the one who always keeps it 

by his side.” 

M03 AFRICA PH 

The M 03 Africa PH is fitted to the needs of 

hunting guides. It is built for strong calibers 

and at the same time is extremely compact 

and blends in the professional hunter‘s equipment. 

Its highly stable synthetic stock with 

kickstop is colored in natural sand and 

features anti-slip black inlays. Thanks to the 

double detachable sling-swivels on the 

buttstock and on the front of the fore-end, 

utmost carrying comfort is provided. Due to a 

compact overall length, this “pro rifle” stands 

the test in daily use. Chamber, trigger and 

bolt handle are colored in black. Muzzle Safe 

and Mag Safe perfectly round off the 

package.

A PERFECT TEAM 

“On driven hunts or when tracking you and your dog have 

to be a strong team. The M 03 Trail becomes a part of it.” 

M03 TRAIL 

The M 03 Trail offers maximum safety and 

flexibility on driven hunts or when tracking, 

where thick vegetation challenges both 

hunter and rifle. Your solid base: the manual 

cocking system of the M 03 and the M 03 

Extreme‘s high-tensile synthetic stock. 

Thought-out solutions directly respond to the 

requirements of practical hunting. Muzzle- 

Safe protects the barrel against dirt. 

By twisting the magazine lock Mag-Safe, the 

magazine is secured against loss. 3-Dot 

sights allow for instinctive target acquisition 

even in adverse lighting conditions. Slingswivels

TAKE A SHORT-CUT 

History 

“If taking shortcuts is one of your favorites, the M 03 

Stutzen might be your rifle of choice. It is compact, classy and 

extremely flexible.” 

M03 STUTZEN 

Innovation in traditional looks: As a special 

model for stalking and mountain hunting, the 

M 03 Stutzen combines optimum comfort with 

maximum safety and shooting performance. 

Thanks to the split fore-end, it provides the 

same accuracy as any other M 03 model. 

The barrel is free-floating with no contact to 

the main stock. By changing the barrel, the 

Stutzen can quickly be converted into the 

M 03 in the Alpine style in any caliber

FASCINATION 

AFRICA 

M03 “NAMIBIA” 

The artist who engraved this M 03 eternalized 

his enthralling impressions of Namibia. A 

lavishly performed arrangement of acanthus 

and African whitethorn frames the animal 

portraits: Oryx and kudu adorn the magazine, 

a leopard decorates the trigger guard and a 

wart hog boar is presented on the steel pistol 

grip cap. Action and smaller parts are grey 

nitrided and feature a gloss finish. The action 

of this particular rifle rests in a specially 

chosen stock carved out of premium root 

wood with “tiger stripes” adding to the 

uniqueness of this masterpiece of traditional 

hand engraving. 

THE LINE OF 

BEAUTY 

M03 “SILVERLINE” 

The fine silver wire inserted by hand into the 

deep black polished steel creates a design of 

charming contrast that clearly stands out 

and perfectly underlines the classic shape of 

the M 03. As the lines become finer they flow 

into delicate ornaments entwining around the 

action, barrel base and sights with the 

lightness of art nouveau. The manual cocking 

system and trigger are polished brighter than 

the other metal parts of the rifle. The noble 

root wood grade 6 perfectly rounds off the 

rifle‘s precious appearance. The M 03 

“Silverline” follows a design line that is 

consistent and playful at the same time.

History 

MADE BY MASTERS 

An immortal hunting rifle system like the M 98 refined with exquisite engravings is a 

unique treasure throughout the world. It is a symbol of traditional hunting culture and 

passes on the fine art of gun making to future generations. 

Only the best engravers are employed to bring the rifle’s steel to life. Their skill and 

artistic understanding harmonize with the classic appearance of the rifle. 

M98 “BIG FIVE EUROPE” 

The exceptional arrangement of oak leaf, ferns 

and thistles is spread generously across the 

entire action, trigger guard, bolt handle and 

pistol grip cap. The centrepiece of this artwork 

is the magazine cover with the stunningly 

detailed portraits of red stag, boar, chamois, 

mufflon and roe buck framed by the typically 

European fauna. 

M98 “ENGLISH CLASSIC” 

The Mauser master engravers added subtle 

English scroll to the color case hardened 

action of the “English Classic”, perfectly 

complementing this unique surface finish. 

Special figured curlwood grade 7 underlines 

the incredible charm of this rifle. The color 

case hardened M 98 and M 98 Magnum are also 

available without engraving. 

M98 “ELEPHANT” 

Mauser once again created a true masterpiece, 

proving that the legend of the M 98 

Magnum is very much alive. The M 98 Magnum 

“Elephant“ is the impressive fruit of a 

cooperation of master engravers. 

Arabesque variations and African acacia 

thorns frame the lettering “Original Mauser“ 

on the pistol grip cap and “Mod. Elephant“ on 

the barrel quarter rib. The mighty animal that 

gives this rifle its name can be found on the 

magazine floor plate. The horizon is entirely 

inlaid in gold giving the majestic elephant a 

spectacular surrounding. The whole scene 

truly captures the fascination of Africa. The 

artwork is complemented by a stock made of 

very rare figured curlwood grade 10 featuring 

a Rigby cheekpiece.
