CRAZY GOOD SAUER 100 SALE! - EUROOPTIC - AS LOW AS $499.99

[Kauaihunter]

Jake, would you happen to know if the Low Talley rings will work on a 40mm objective with a 1” tube or do I need to get the Medium? I can’t send DM’s yet and can’t measure to confirm as I just ordered the rifle this morning. If not, I’ll wait for the rifle to arrive.

If you are talking about the integrated rings and bases, ie lightweight, they have a poor reputation for reliability, a better option is the Burris XTB bases mentioned above and a decent set of picatinny rings.
Lows will suit.

The safety lever from the outside is not plastic. My rifle arrived today. Have not taken it out of the stock yet. 6.5CM is 6lbs 15oz on my scale. $399

It has a threaded barrel correct?

 

[Bowhunter46]

How’s the quality feel? Does it feel like a solid rifle or like Ruger American quality

 

[Kauaihunter]

Barrel is threaded. Stock is almost as stiff as the Tikka, it will twist more at the forend but it’s not like the Ruger and Remington plastic where it takes very little pressure to make contact with the bottom of the barrel channel and barrel. There is a slight zip on initial opening of the bolt but nothing like the 1st Gen American. I think that will wear in or out should I say? The safety has a long throw forward from bolt lock position and I’m not really fond of the disassembly process. Some mention the LOP being too long but I’m 6’ and that never bothers me. The ball on the bolt handle appears to be a plastic cover.

I will say that it feels at least, well built and it points really well for me, the scope is mounted and feels natural to me. Sight picture is there. I made just over six 1/4 turns on the screw (no disassembly) and the trigger pull is just under 2.5 pounds now. Out of the box it was 3.5.

Just my unbiased opinion, my other rifles are Tikka’s and I just need some time with this one to see if I really like it in comparison. Initial impression, would I buy it again? At $400, for sure. It has a 10 year warranty if that helps.

the zip goes away after a couple rounds, or at least mine did

Mine is coming Thursday...can't confirm what is coming yet. But I've owned 2 others and the quality was better than a Ruger American IMHO. The bottom metal/trigger guard seemed to be metallic.

I figured for $1000 normal cost it would be better but it’s always hard to decipher what stock is cheap feeling through an image

 

[Lonewolf72]

The sale price kinda seems a no-brainer, even if some of your expectations aren't met.

I got mine today. At first glance, it’s everything I wanted it to be. I’ll take some pictures in a bit.

 

[Formidilosus]

Where is this “cheap” idea coming from? There isn’t a single European or Scandinavian rifle made that is “junk”. They do not have Ruger Americans or savages. The Sauer 100 is Sauer’s answer to the T3x- it is a very good rifle.

@EuroOptic, thank you!

Pros:

• This rifle is a beauty.
• The bolt is very smooth right out of the gate.
• The trigger feels great.
• I like the three-position safety.
• Magazine release button is nice.
• Balances right around the magazine release button.
• Barrel is nicely floated.
• The 5-round flush magazine is nice. The 10-round magazine is not too extended.
• Points well.

Cons:

• Will not eject my two snap caps. I am not sure why. It ejects loaded ammunition and fired brass from my Tikka without any issues (I haven’t fired it yet). It is prematurely dropping them off the bolt face. This is probably due to the fact that they have been used a ton since I got them. At any rate, they work well with my Tikka, so I will get a new pair for this rifle.
• I want the same rifle in 9.3x62.

Facts: 7 pounds, 1.8 ounces

Edit - here is a picture with the 10-round magazine.

Second edit - there is nothing "cheap" about this rifle. It is a bargain. The only other J.P. Sauer rifle I own is a drilling made in November 1939. The workmanship in this one isn't quite as nice as that handmade work of art, but careful design and craftsmanship are evident throughout. It's going to compete with my Tikkas for field and range time. It will probably result in me selling a Sako .243 and a CZ 527 in 6.5mm Grendel.

Yes, very nice. If anyone here thinks that Jake won’t take care of his customers, he needs to think again.
