Sauer 100 - Talk me out of it

[Lonewolf72]

I couldn't help myself with these prices, after having owned a 100 in 6.5prc and 30-06. Can't wait to try my new 6.5CM!

Maybe it’s already been discussed but is there enough meat to thread this barrel 5/8x24 at around 18”-20” ? About to impulse buy the non threaded version if so

@Presswood_936, as it happens, I have this handy little gauge that Silencer Central gave me when I ordered a barrel threading job from them. If you were to cut the barrel back to 16”, or maybe 17”, you would have enough barrel to do 5/8-24. Otherwise, you would need 1/2x28 or 9/16-24.

what’s the ID of the gauge you have over the barrel

That’s the 5/8-24 gauge. It’s 0.685” min.

There are other options for 5/8x24 threads on a .630 barrel...check out Kampfeld Custom.

My recent experience with Karl is that he is a good guy who does excellent work. Trying hard to not send him another rifle to thread for me, lol.

Yes, this is another option. I’ve never used Kampfeld, but I hear great things about him. I might send him my new Sauer along with the other rifle I hope to acquire next week.

It was so simple sending them to Silencer Central and they did such good work, that I might just do that again, even though it will result in 1/2x28 threads on the Sauer.

Well, I just caved as well and bought a 243 just to see how it compares to the 6.5C I have.

1:10 twist should still shoot 87's and 95's...

Plenty of deer have fallen to the 95-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip and the 100-grain Hornady Whitetail.

Good chance it will stabilize 95gr TMK’s.

I might have just ordered 95NBT's and 95TMK's too...

“might have”! For some reason I find myself saying this quite often!!!

What am I missing about these rifles, as the prices have me wondering is this an insanely good deal or is EO giving them away because they have too? I have no use for a 6.5cm but at $400 that is reason enough to have a need for one…. https://www.eurooptic.com/sauer-100-classic-xt-65-creedmoor-22-1-87-1-2-x28-bbl-rifle-s1s65ct

Great rifle. I think It’s just old stock at EO. Hard to pass up a deal like that!
