The tubular steel receiver features an angled cut on the left side for a trim profile, and the minimized ejection port increases rigidity, which, in turn, improves accuracy potential. Like other three lug bolt-action rifles, the Sauer 100 requires just a 60-degree lift that allows it to function with large-diameter scopes and promotes faster cycling. The Sauer 100 utilizes a push-feed bolt design with three locking lugs up front, a large extractor mounted on one of the lugs and dual plunger-type ejectors. One of those new models is the Sauer 100 Cherokee, which features a synthetic woodland camo stock and Cerakote Tundra Green finish on the metalwork. The success of the Model 100 also prompted Sauer to grow the 100 family to include several new models.

The Model 100 stood out in a sea of affordable bolt guns for all the right reasons-superb build quality, tight tolerances, attention to detail and excellent accuracy-and made these guns popular among American shooters and hunters. A few years ago, Sauer threw its hat into the budget gun arena with the launch of the Model 100, a bolt action that featured German engineering and attention to detail with an un-German price tag.

Sauer, as the brand is commonly known, produces good bolt-action rifles and shotguns, which are imported into this country through Blaser USA in San Antonio, Texas. Sauer & Sohn, first established in 1751, is Germany’s oldest firearms manufacturer. For a hunting type of rifle, what you see is what you get they seem to be real decent.īut you can’t throw it in a krg bravo. It has to be the best on any sub 1000$ gun. For a what you see is what ya get, the sum is greater then the parts. The s20 is a nicer rifle, but it doesn’t shoot tighter groups, nor do I think reliability will be an improvement.

If i’d Go with a switch barrel i’d get a factory 308 ctr and get a custom cut rifle 21” 6.5. It doesn’t quite even put the playing field but a 147 at 2575 in factory fodder isn’t outpacing say Berger 155gr 308 ammo at 2890 that it does in my gun. The only negative I have with factory 6.5 creeds from tikka is how slow they are with factory fodder. run a couple different magazine options (single stack aics, CtR and also the factory single stack), swap bolts etc etc. The ease of getting a barrel to ur house in 3 days in a plethora of cartridge selections. Until the aftermarket catches up I won’t hand over my tikka in a krg for one.
