How do the triggers compare to tikka

At least as good, but also easily adjustable.

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.

Weather permitting, range tomorrow.

I’m a fan of one piece mounts if possible.

What thread are the scope mount screws in the receiver? 6-40 or 8-40?

So am I, normally. But I asked what worked best. Pretty sure he said there was some Leupold mount that also works.

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?

I heard back from the fine folks at Sauer regarding having my rifle threaded:
View attachment 958302
Sauer quoted me $375 for the threading job, so I will take it somewhere else reputable.

Interesting bit they put in there about not removing the barrel. Wasn't that a contested issue on here?

Yes, it was a highly contested topic.

Is there any more info on this? Wondering if it has to be sent in to get rebarreled or if a competent gunsmith could do it

It’s been addressed repeatedly. People that have no idea what they are talking about should stop commenting and confusing.


Yes, the Sauer 100 can be rebarreled like any other rifle.

Thanks for the clarification. I remember reading about the press fit vs screw on barrels and thought it was settled. Then the email response threw me off. Sounds like I need to order one.
