Got one last year on sale for around $500. I think it's has gotten even cheaper since then? 

Can't complain given the price, solid rifle for the price. Pretty accurate and shoot tight groups within 100 yards.

The only issue being it has 0 aftermarket support, no accessories and the OEM plastic magazine cost some stupid amount of money. 

Oh, don't call your M18 a Mauser in front of some die hard Mauser purists or collector.

It doesn't use the traditional Mauser action and it's produced by SIG Sauer (not to be confused with Sig Sauer) using the Mauser name.

Some Mauser collectors refuse to consider it as a Mauser like the M98.

I’ve used a Sauer 100 XT and I believe it’s basically the same action and barrel. Trigger is super nice, stock is light and felt recoil is more than similar rifles I’ve shot, but I think it’s meant to be shot with a bladed stance? Mauser has a different stock, but might be lighter because I think they have a space for a cleaning kit in it.
