Re-barreling a Sauer 100

[Castle Rock]

I also had issues with mine in 6.5cm with clickers on mild reloads. No issues with factory Norma whitetail ammo.

The Norma ammo is really anemic

Sample of one but mine is on the market.
High ejection angle sees cases hitting the elevation turret and bouncing back and causing feeding issues.
There is no primary extraction and my rifle has a really rough chamber so I have extraction issues with mild loads.

I assume you mean “windage turret”?

And you were getting cases stuck in the chamber?

Same issues happened to me. Moving the scope forward a little bit fixed the first problem.
But the extraction issue was very annoying. It was worse with factory Hornady. Several times in a box of 20 it was very hard to pull the bolt back. And a few of those times the extractor would skip the rim and the bolt would come back while the spent case was still in the chamber. Since cleaning the chamber and switching to hand loads I haven't had the problem. But if it happens again I guess I'll get the chamber polished. All my other rifles are Mauser type actions so I never imagined this type of problem before.

Wow, I thought my clicker issue was my reloads. Very disappointed to hear it is happening to others and with factory brass. Definitely would have passed on the Sauer if I knew about this.

Can a chamber be polished with the barrel on the action?
