Are you sure your rifle has a stainless barrel and action? I believe all rifles like yours come with a coating of Gray Ice Cerakote (Ceratech). I heard there could be stainless models available in Europe, but not the U.S.Just get stainlessView attachment 923655
How so? I've owned 2, including one that looked exactly like yours, sans threading.You believe wrong
The Mauser M18 and the Sauer100 are the same rifle with a couple of cosmetic changesSorry to bring back a zombie thread but heads up, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone to rebarrel a Sauer 100. So if you get one as a hunting rifle pick a high round count cartridge like 308 Win.
They are NOT STAINLESS STEEL. Per Bud's website:Are the ones marked "silver" not stainless?
Yeah I figured that out with the part numbers. ConfusingThey are NOT STAINLESS STEEL. Per Bud's website:
"Sauer S1SX708 100 Silver XT Bolt 7mm-08 Remington 22" 5+1 Synthetic Black Stk Stainless Cerakote"
The description states "Stainless Cerakote". I believe the "Silver" model is synonymous with "Ceratech". I think Sauer USA once listed this gun as a separate model on their website, but no longer.
Some people would argue about anythingHow so? I've owned 2, including one that looked exactly like yours, sans threading.
The website now shows a new stainless model...Sauer 100 Stainless XTA. It has an adjustable cheek riser. A quick Google check...I didn't see it available here and most articles on this model are from outside the US.

Says the man who has not yet justified how he purchased an actual stainless steel Sauer 100 in the United States. Unless you purchased your rifle outside the US?Some people would argue about anything![]()
This is the question to ask. Furthermore you could probably get 300 bucks for the rifle and go put it towards another.At $499-$799, it's cheaper to buy a new rifle than rebarrel it.
why is rebarreling the hang up?
Since we're talking about it, I took the barrel off mine to find out.
It appears to be 28mmx1.00 metric. simple flat face breech to action interface w/recessed bolt.
This barrel was MAYBE 75 lbs to break loose. I set up for a fight and as soon as I began to lean on it, it popped and spun right off. Pic is as it came off. Maybe a dab of thread locker but zero galling.

In all seriousness, what is the quality of the wood stock?
Also, how does the polymer stock compare to a tikka, Ruger American, Franchi etc?
