It is a fine rifle at moderate cost and the mechanical functionality with smooth operation and manufacturing standards do set it apart from the competition before you get to the subtler factors of its accuracy, ability and shooting dynamics. The Sauer 100 is unusual in the fact I almost prefer it to its bigger, ‘better’ brothers. The forend is just a little bit too slender for gentle but firm grip Manufacturing quality is apparently superior at this price pointĮver Rest action bedding is simple but effective, just watch those rear washers This is also a very good review that was done by a CGN member a while ago ….Chris Parkin gets to grips with the new ‘entry-level’ model from the famous Sauer stable, the Sauer 100 Classic XT in. Here’s an article I came across today that very closely matches my own impression regarding the Sauer 100. I was so impressed that I went and bought one for myself in 6.5x55 SE – haven’t had an opportunity to take that to the range. 308 does not produce substantial felt recoil anyway. Very comfortable to shoot, to begin with the. Excellent trigger, I actually prefer its flat blade design. The rifle shot ½ inch groups 100m with 150gr of both Federal Vital-Shok (Nosler Partition) as well as the less expensive Power-Shok (Blue box). Unlike the Tiika, the Sauer trigger guard and bottom frame is metal.
FYI, the Sauer 100 barrel is press fitted (not threaded) into the receiver and this manufacturing technology process may be a turn-off for some people.Īs is the case with Tikka, the Sauer receiver is also built upon the long action and the short action cartridge mag is equipped with a spacer. three position safety, mag/mag release design, three lug bolt that locks directly inside the breech etc. IMHO, the Tikka, in its moderate although presently inflated price point offers excellent value in terms of build quality and accuracy performance (generally with factory ammo across the board).įast forward to Sauer 100 XT – I had the opportunity to zero one (.308 Win) last month, and IMHO, felt that to be an overall bit better designed rifle than the Tikka with few enhanced features i.e. The group I hunt with have nine Tikka T3s among them and with the exception of two I had the opportunity to zero all of those over the course of past three years. However, this may warrant input since folks may find that helpful in some way …. I no longer participate in the discussions now-a-days.
