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

I went for the 6.5 PRC in Classic XT. Planning to cut the stock down to 13”, fill with spray foam, and add a neoprene gel recoil pad. I’ve had good results with this in the past. Scope and mounts TBD…what are my best option for mounts?

Form suggested I try the Burris 410600 XTR Base Remington 700 (Black). I haven’t shot it yet, but they seem to fit well.

Just be aware that mounting a scope with a big windage knob really low can be problematic with certain cartridges, they hit the turret and bounce back into the action.
There is a simple solution for this in the case of the 3-9 Super Sniper, just rotate the scope 90 degrees anti clockwise.

That’s certainly a fair consideration, but I haven’t had that happen yet with my Tikkas or Mausers with SWFA gen 1 or gen 2. I always use low or medium rings (clearing the wing safety on a Mauser action often requires a bit more height).
 
Shot the Sauer today. There’s gonna be a lot more shooting for sure, rifle is smooth and easy to steady. Shot two Hornady Precision 143gr ELDX to see where it was on paper, adjusted to move it closer to zero. The three up top was the first three ELDX after adjustment, I called the 2nd shot to the far right, that was me. The three underneath was Winchester XP 125gr at 2820fps average. I have three other factory rounds I could try but probably won’t even mess with those for now. I only have a partial box of the XP but I did already have some on order so will wait for that to arrive before I try for a longer string of shots. This is supposed to be the “loaner” rifle, idk about that? 👀
