Sauer 100 aftermarket stocks

[Tonopah]

I finished zeroing my Sauer 100 6.5 CM wood stock rifle this morning. I am seeing 3/4 to 1 inch groups smack on the bullseye at 100 yards. These are three shot groups but still, for a hunting rifle, I am very happy. Rifle purchased from Eurooptic.

By the way, Eurooptic — I have a love / hate relationship with you guys. Your selection of firearms, scopes, stocks and other related items is excellent and it is so easy to buy from you that my checkbook keeps yelling at me — but I like everything I have purchased from you all.

Sounds like moslty love to me, maybe a little toxic.. Healthy relationships are boring

I read in another thread that Sauer recommends 44 inch pounds for the forward action screw and 35 inch pounds for the rear action screw so I made that change to my rifle. I did an initial zero last night at 25 yards and the rifle shot a one hole 5 shot group an inch below the bullseye. I will zero the rifle at 100 yards today.View attachment 1059303

If ANY bolt action centerfire rifle ISNT shooting a one hole group at 25 yds, then there's an issue at play.

@EuroOptic

Will you be getting anymore GRS Hunter Light stocks back in stock for the Sauer? Or other GRS stocks?

I was looking at a GRS Hunter Light for a Tikka M695, but I never could find one in stock in the US, or anyone willing to get one in. Ended up selling the rifle.

Agreed. Today I have been getting 3/4 to 1 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards right on the bullseye. For a hunting rifle, I am more than happy with that.

Yeah, usually the shooter

The Sauer is hands-down, the best factory stock on the market.
On the other hand the rifle has certain drawbacks, and I wouldn’t bother restocking one.

Hey CR, Would you mind expanding on your thoughts on the Sauer 100 rifle and why you wouldn’t restock one?

My Sauer 100 Classic XT in 6.5 PRC is a legit shooter. My only issue with it has been the extraction angle is fairly high and the brass keeps smacking the bottom of the windage knob and bouncing back into the chamber. Probably wouldn't be a problem with a non tactical scope with a smaller windage dial(the scope is the Arken EPL4 4-16).

Originally, I was impressed with the stock and I still like it....however I have discovered the downside to tupperware stocks. The forend has a fair amount of flex and it does affect the ability to really lock in with a bipod and be very steady and consistent.

Aside from the flexible forend and poor extraction design I've been impressed with everything else. Accuracy has been quite good with most factory ammo, trigger is excellent(once adjusted down), and the action and barrel seem above average once broken in. Also, magazine is fantastic. The aluminum bottom metal/trigger guard is a plus, imo.

Not answering for CR, but for me the factory stock handles muzzle rise well, probably because of the shape of the comb and how the butt lines up with the barrel almost like the rokstok. The sauer stock is actually what sold me on the rokstok. It also has a nice fat grip that allows you to put even hand pressure all around, and the grip is close enough to the trigger that you're not stretching your hand out like an old school sporter stock.

I guess it might be flimsy in the forend but that's never been an issue for me. I also don't use bipods.
