055.jpg Mauser M03 in .243 with Zeiss Diavari VM 2.5-10x 56 scope, 1489 x 2148ORIGINAL ARTICLEA game of cat and MauserIt’s as good a test for a gun as any. Charlie Jacoby takes the Mauser M03 out after a fox that has been preying on a local old lady’s catsMrs Blank rang up in a state. She’s the only anonymous part of this story. She loves her sheep farming, she loves her countryside and she loves her cats. She saw a fox go off with one. Could I come and deal with it?Since I had a rifle to test, a Mauser in .243, this seemed like an ideal opportunity. I’m not one to deny any predator their pick of a basket of cats but I was doing this for Mrs Blank. She farms locally and, for various reasons, we’re stiff with foxes just now.The Mauser has a long history behind it. It comes from Germany where the Mauser brothers led the way in rifle ingenuity in their day. In the 1890s, Paul Mauser created the M98 which included the modern Mauser action we see in so many rifles today. Its strength and reliability made it the ideal base for the M03It is hard to get over the simplicity and ingenuity of the Mauser action With six lug nuts to hold the bolt in the barrel that bolt ain’t going anywhere. The round in the chamber stays centred.Continuing this theme of knockability for shooters in the field, Mauser has produced a a synthetic stock, while still aiming to retain the M03 classic look and shape. To an extent, that succeeds. Of course, synthetic stock rifles look awful but this looks less awful than, say some of the Thomson Center rifles.Like many new rifles the synthetic stock helps to keep the Mauser M03 completely weatherproof which aids accuracy in poor weather conditions.

003.jpg Charlie Jacoby uses a Callmaster call, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEI had with me an electronic caller from Decoying.co.uk, which Howard Heywood tested in the last issue of Sporting Rifle. A point he made was to use it sparingly. A few squeaks of a rabbit here and there is more realistic for a fox than a rabbit squeak going on and on. The digital caller comes with chips loaded with sounds. It did not have, I noticed, the mewing of a vulnerable kitten.Surveying the farmyard where there were cats, chickens, duck and all of it a potential feast to a fearless fox, I reckoned the predator could only come through one of two gates. The wind was wrong for one of them, so I followed the fox’s future path back out into the field from whence it would come. There was another gateway on the other wide of the field and covering both it and the farmyard gate was a perfect thorny corner. I’m a great fan of these. I use my pigeon hide kit but I use the camo net to make a roof as well as a wall to take the sun off my face. Having set up the digital foxcaller, built the hide and put the stool and dog inside it, it was a question of waiting. And waiting. And waiting.It took two hours, during which time the pheasants went noisily to bed, the thin winter sun ducked behind the hedgerows then sat sulkily for 30 minutes, I could hear the poultry being shut up, I could see two cats scouring the hedges for rabbits (leave some for me) and a bat flitted over head. It’s December – shouldn’t they be hibernating?As the fox slipped through the gate in front of me, I leveled the M03 and silently cocked it. The first shot was a definite hit but the fox bolted forward, then slowed. It took a couple of seconds to work the bolt and send another round in as a safety shot. The fox was dead.The Callmaster costs £165 and spare chips are £39.99 each. www.decoying.co.uk
