Overview
The Mauser Model 66 is a bolt-action rifle manufactured by Mauser in Germany. It was introduced in the 1960s as a premium sporting rifle aimed at the European hunting market. The Model 66 features a unique sliding barrel action, where the barrel slides forward to allow the bolt to pick up a cartridge from the magazine. This design eliminates the need for a separate bolt handle raceway, allowing the receiver to be extremely compact. The rifle was handmade with a select walnut stock, a set-trigger system, and a highly polished blued finish. The Model 66 is considered one of the finest production rifles ever made, with exceptional fit and finish.
