I'm actually looking at the Sauer 100. Had 2 Tikkas a 308 and a 223. Both gone. Howa 1500 in varmit S/S .223 awesome rifle.
Even a couple of my mates bought them and they shoot the same as mine. Under 1/2" moa @ 100
Those Sauers look great and have some great features at a reasonable price too I wouldn't mind one either
Why did you sell the ticklers mate.
Not suited to what I was doing. The .223 was a Hunter and I do a lot roo culls, it just heated up too quickly and accuracy came into play.Nice rifle without a doubt.I think overpriced a little too.Just the wrong tool for the job. The Hunter's stock was awesome. Very accurate rifle out of the box. The Howa was way cheaper than a Tikka varmint. The synthetic stock on the tikka varmint is horrible to me and was really hollow. Seemed really cheap. The Howa in S/S with the heavy barrel has shot brilliantly out of the box. Blew me away actually, pardon the pun.It's a cheap rifle. It groups and shots like a lazer all day and night. Oh and the top loading
The hogue stock for that one is perfect. Feels solid.
The .308 was just sitting in the safe doing nothing. So sold it and bought a .22 Lithgow. (with no issues lol ) So now it is the big toss up for my .270 another Howa with a Boyds stock or an entry level Sauer for about $1350.
