I agree with your friend Tassie
"don’t change a freakin thing...don’t bump it, move a click, don’t even swear in German near it...lol."

although I recon it will be easier to shoot with a better scope

cvnt in german is "fotze" if things go south

[bigrich]

Put a loopy on it taz , ya know you want too nice clean clear optics make it easier to shoot well I reckon. The only scope I’ve come across that’s better than a loop for the money is meopta. But the housing is bulkier

JMHO

So curiosity got too me re this new sauer being able to shoot 200gn ELD's...so loaded up some 56.0gn AR2209 and had a play today along with some 150's with 60.0gn of same powder.
I shot at 110m in a gusty conditions with a bipod but no rear bag - off a small desk.
The 150's shot very well - several groups measured at 0.7 including a lighter charge of 58gns shooting .9 inch x 3 shot groups.

The 200's were ok - best group was 1.1inches and worst was 2.4 inches - but wind was gusting to 40kmh so who knows... My shoulder was not ok...I tried shooting it in a rest and it nearly broke me because of the angle and steel cradle that launches into your shoulder. I do NOT think I could shoot this thing lying prone with 200gn projectiles.
Whilst the barrel cooled between shots I utilized the 260 for 120gn AMAX testing - typically boring 0.4inch groups with 46.0gn of 2209 but after a while my shoulder was just jelly and I Know I was starting to wince on trigger pull. Which might account for the larger groups later in the day lol
Over all - I'm very happy with the way the SAUER shoots - very happy. I'll probably never go back to a 200gn - I just wanted to know if it would shoot them really.
Now I have a 150 load sorted, Im thinking of trying some 180 Zombie ballistic tips that are on sale at places that shall not be named...

it shows the rifle is a shooter and not just a one trick pony
my advise is to look after it, dont abuse it and find something else to plink with
these factory rifle shooters dont come along every day

for plinking fun a 357 lever and a big stack of clays from the shotgun range is laughs and giggles for me ! 357 doesn't use much powder either

I think your correct on this one. A good clean tonight and then back into the safe for a couple weeks - season is coming.
I'm even learning some german love words to praise her up - but I'm not sure...as the videos I'm learning from, have a lot of guns in them, but none are steel barrelled and the women are really noisy...

Just spoke to my LGS, looking at picking up the Sauer 100 "Ceratech" in 308WIN, was quoted $1,100 was also told that on Monday all pricing is going up a minimum 5% on all rifles.. Supposedly this is across the board..

[Blr243]

Is it possible to love a rifle ? Yes. When u pick it up can it feel beautiful? Yes When I need pin point accuracy from a hunting rifle there’s only one to grab out of my safe ...it’s my sauer100 in 243. Even with its ugly black stock it just feels perfect and I can take every shot with complete confidence .....a few extra bucks won’t kill you ....you are bound to enjoy it. And Once adjusted down the trigger is divine

Well Tassie, you have had the Sauer 100 for 5 years now, what’s the verdict?
I mates of mines son has asked me to help him get into shooting. I am thinking of recommending the Sauer 100 in 223 for him.
Are you still pleased with yours?
Have you had any issues?

[Blr243]

I think tassie is no longer with us. I have since bought another sauer. A 270 win ceracote

Thanks Blr243, I wasn’t aware of that.
So you are obviously happy with both of yours.

[Oldbloke]

Maybe he moved to the "other" forum, but I can't recall what it was called now so I can't check.

My Sauer 223 is an absolute gem. Shoots really tight groups. It only gets used for hunting - but it gets used a lot. It’s great to have the confidence in the rifle to head shoot out to 200m. I’ve put about 3500 rounds through it in 2 years.

Excellent feedback. Thanks

[Blr243]

Yes very happy with mine. The long throw lever on the 3 position safety very easy to use in the dark . Very easy to know or feel where it is. The three position safety on the howas are about as awful as you can get

You're kidding right ??

I've been walking around every friday nite over summer and have zero issues with with the Howa 3 position safety, what exactly is it you don't like ??

[Blr243]

I own st least 3 howas. They are priced very good prob best value for money. Accurate and strong . I just don’t like the safety in comparison to the sauer. The safety is tiny. I can’t see at a quick glance where it is. The three positions are very close to each other. It’s too tiny to grip and move easy from one spot to another. Some may see this as an advantage because it is less likely to. Get bumped into another location

[Peter988]

I am old school. I was taught 60 years ago. Ignore the safety. Bolt up. Bolt down. Back in the days when the safety didn’t lock the firing pin. The only drawback I have with the Sauer is no after market trigger. I prefer a feather touch. The Sauer is adjusted down to max and let’s go at 1.9lb. That would suit most shooters. I would fit a two stage if one was available.

[Blr243]

Pete I’m also a feather touch fan. I was not happy with the trigger on my 270 because it did not adjust down low enough for me. So I ordered another sauer trigger and it was the same. So then I had to pull it apart and have a go myself. But then it was too light and likely to go with a bump or when closing the bolt and I knew it was way too dangerous and I dare not go bush like that so I pulled it apart and had another go. This time I got it perfect snd it’s safe. I can’t remember what I did. Maybe I stretched or softened the spring. Css as t remember.. but it’s very nice to have it just the way u want it
