Thread: Sauer 100

Not made in stainless, so waste of time if your an importer trying to make serious in-roads into the Tikka market.

No I don't think so. I am still using a blued 1974 Brno Fox. That still looks good and has no rust. Blued is fine. Just look after it. Any serious hunter/shooter should realise that. I have a stainless rifle and I clean it the same amount as I do with the old Blue rifles. So no real advantage really.

I've seen the reports of these for a while now and have been waiting impatiently. I looked at one the other day and I thought very nice!! It was a bit heavier than a tikka, that will be the only reason to not buy one in my mind. Other than that it's an awesome looking/feeling rifle. Tikka?? Whats that??

Yeah I agree with some of your sentiments, but most people don't think like you Kudu. So if your an importer your rifle better trump the Tikka in every way if you want to sell plenty. I'll eat humble pie in 4-5 years if it displaces the Tikka but I seriously doubt i'll have to get my napkin and spoon out...
