Thread: New sauer 101 carbon

Hi,
I just saw that this is being released in Europe .
Weight wise it could be a serious contender to few current rifles and customs, provided the price stays reasonable.

2.5kg as a bare rifle? It will need a good price point. I guess it would be a good package setup ready for rings and optics. Might leave some to be desired? Who knows!

Now we are getting somewhere, one of those in 6.5PRC thanks.

Who’s the local importer?

Outdoorsports NZ, I think.

Could do with a bit of as tune up on the English translation:
"features that guarantee liability and accuracy out of the box"


I wonder what that Diamond like coating is ? On the metal, I suppose ?

Plenty of info on Google on 'Diamond Like Carbon'. Diamonds are made of carbon of course, this coating is apparently a layer of carbon that is structurally 'diamond-like'. We've actually got a DLC coated stainless test piece in service at work to see how it resists erosion - I didn't know they were applying it to firearms. No real info yet on how it's holding up here (give it a few more months), but it's in test against tungsten carbide coated stainless, plasma-nitrided stainless, and uncoated hardened stainless as a control. If it's comparable or better than these other test pieces then it's pretty tough stuff.

I ll tell you what, the translation of the German to English of the Sauer manual is so chocking. I can't believe they let it be printed without proper proof reading . They could have gotten inspiration from the tikka/ Sako manuals.

Yep it’s outdoor sports

When will the Sako S20 be available here - yummy

Won't be stainless.
Might be Cerakoted steel.

Are they still a press fit barrel? Be awesome in l
Somthing like 6.5prc but it's a lot of money for a rifle system that will start to deteriorate accuracy after 1k rounds
