Grabbed a Mauser m12 a little while back (with a little encouragement from tfl of course) and one thing that's eluded me is the twist.chambered in 30-06. Am I a dunce and just missed it somewhere?
 
I don't see that spec in their literature, either.
I would be much surprised if it were anything but 10" or 12" (or something near in even centimeters.)
Either will be fine with anything you might shoot out of a hunting rifle.
 
Here's the barrel twists of various rifles. Unfortunately, the Mauser's twist in .30/06 isn't in the list. However, note that other European-made rifles ARE in the list which may give you some clue as to what the twist is in your rifle's barrel. I've highlighted (bold-faced) those rifles that I'm SURE are foreign-made.

Other rifles in the list may be foreign-made and I simply don't know it.

30-06 - 1 in 10" Twist:
Browning 81 BLR, BAR Mark II, A-Bolt II; Colt,
FN; High Standard; J.C. Higgins 50, 51, 51-L;
Harrington & Richardson 300; Mannlicher
Schoenauer; Marlin; Musketeer; Remington
721, 760, 740, 742, 725, 700, 40-XB, 7400,
7600; Savage 110, 114, 116 (present); Sako;
Schultz & Larsen; Stevens 110; Winchester 70,
670, 770; Weatherby Vanguard (the barrel
and action still manufactured by Howa in Japan),
Mark V; Ruger#1, 77; Wichita; Mossberg; Magnum Research
Mountain Eagle; Thompson/Center Rifle;

30-06 - 1 in 12" twist
Husqvarna; Remington 700 Varmint (old);
Browning 78.

I hope this list is of help... :)


Strength & Honor...
