Sauer 100 is a bolt-action rifle manufactured by Sauer & Sohn that was launched in 2016.[2] It is an entry level rifle from Sauer,[3][4] and is produced in the same factory and shares many parts with Mauser M18.[5][citation needed]
Technical
The stock comes with a proprietary bedding called "Ever-Rest" which consists of a metal block around the front action screw. The rifle is available in many variants, such as:[6]
- Atacama
- Ceratech
- Cherokee
- Fieldshoot
- Pantera
The action has a very similar outer profile to the Remington 700 enabling it to accept standard Remington 700 pattern scope mounts.[7] The trigger has one stage, with an adjustable weight between 1000 and 2000 grams (2.2 to 4.4 lbs).[8]
The bolt has 3 locking lugs and a 60 degree bolt throw.[8] The lugs neither locks into the action nor the barrel, but instead locks into a breech ring mounted between the barrel and action.[9] The barrel is mounted to the receiver with action threads and is not a press fit like other Sauer models. The barrel can be delivered from the factory with M15x1 muzzle threads, while M14x1 and 1/2"-28 threads are available by order[6]).
