Sauer 100 - Talk me out of it

...and (in the event it turns into that mythical tack-driver gun you just can't let go of) you can always have the barrel and action nitrided once you start spending money on stocks and the like.

I would do, and did: two-piece Burris XTR pic rails Loctite 380 bonded on, with good pic rings. The Leupold Backcountry one piece rings are solid, but you can’t vary ring spacing on them.

Edit, answered my own question.

One more thing, with a trijicon ascent 3-12x40, what height scope rings?

I’d also be interested in what ring heights people suggest. The SWFA BF sale comes with a free set on a few of the scopes

So far the only thing Ive been able to confirm is the talley one piece base/ring combo med set works with a 1" tube up to a 42mm objective. Not sure if that would translate across the board with a two piece set.

Plus just because something works doesn't mean it's ideal. I don't want to buy something and it's not lining up right with the cheek weld that this stock offers.

Caved and ordered a 6.5x55 blued synthetic (Canada here). Need? Def not, but life is short and guns are cool.

Not gettin the smoking deals you guys are but for what comes up to $700 USD I still think its a lot of rifle. Things cost more than they used to and guns cost more up here. Way she goes.

You guys know how to sell rifles! Kiddin...kinda. Already had an eye on them as they seem like a great platform.

Really glad to read this as I bought those exact talley rings to try.

Anybody here upgrade the stock, recoil pad, or anything else? I haven't got to shoot mine yet

My solution for the extended LOP and poor recoil pad on mine…

1) remove an inch of existing stock/butt pad with my portable bandsaw
2) fill the hollow stock with expanding foam
3) install a slip on neoprene gel filled recoil pad, medium size fits great
4) install a leather cheek riser/ammo holder on the stock to both raise the comb slightly and improve aesthetics
