Thread: Sauer 100 .223

I'm about to get another .223 I own a tikka .223 t3x which has my thermal sitting on it for night time culling don't want to keep swapping scopes so looking at getting another .223 for non night work would get another tikka but almost fainted at the price they've shot up to in oz sauer 100 looks like a bargain compared to tikka , anyone got any experience with the .223

Not the. 223, but the trigger and bolt on my 6.5CM are very nice, and it shoots better than I do. Assume these features are identical

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

I've had several over the years.
Zastava yugo made light tack driver with excellent trigger blind magazine still have it
Howa mini, excellent trigger, smooth action very accurate and light. Silly magazine system though. Avoid the hogue stocked ones.
Weatherby vanguard basically Howa 1500, heavy, blind magazine accurate stainless steel was prone to rust spotting
Ruger American shortest barrel, good trigger, excellent detachable magazine system. Agricultural finish and "scratchy" action. Very accurate but heavy for it's size compared to the Howa.
I've also spent time behind a savage, excellent trigger light accurate fiddly magazine.
They're all good options that most people overlook.I think that you won't worry about it getting bashed about.

I have the Sauer 100 in 6.5CM. Lovely trigger, better than the Tikka. Nice double stack mag. high comb gives better head position than the Tikka. It shoots really well. 3 position safety is great. strange bedding system but it works.
The only thing I don't really like is the schnabel forend.

I have a Sauer 100 but in 6.5cr
Plenty of ammo available and it shoots it well. I haven't reloaded for it
It's becoming available in stainless, well already is in some places
They shoot well .5moa qaurantee from factory , good adjustable trigger from factory and its a bottom feed magazine
There are no aftermarket parts for it unlike Tikka/ remington etc
They are light easy carry actions

Trigger is just as nice as Tikka
Action is just as smooth as Tikka
Accuracy is just as good as Tikka
Flush magazine

LOP feels a bit too long
Twist rate is 1:9 instead of 1:8.

My wife doesn't like the LOP either. Works for my long arms though (6'1")
