    I tried the M12 Impact and found it light, accurate and excellent value for money in the UK. I liked the 3 position safety on it and found it shot equally as well as other rifles from the same stable (Sauer, Blaser and Mauser). I also like the staggered box magazine which holds 5 rds and sits flush with the stock and the fact it comes factory threaded. It was developed for UK use to test the market as a 'working tool' for game keepers and professional hunters hence only the 2 calibre options at the moment but I have heard they are going to do it in .30-06 too. The only other downside is that it has not got and interchangeable barrel.

    The M12 I tried I didn't like the safety on at all. I found it very stiff and after using it a few times my thumb was numb as a result, but the safty may wear in / get easier with use. I do also like the interchangeable barrell / calibre option which is great if you want to travel with it or shoot different species (eg vermin size , small size game, plains game etc). Well worth considering if you want to interchange barrels but don't like the straight pull concept and don't want to remortgage your house to buy the new Sauer 404!
