Thread: Sauer 101 or tikka t3x

Gday,

Could use some of your help! I'm in doubt what to do. I've got a Sauer 202 7x64 with a swarovski z6i 2-12x50 in my gun safe in europe. It's a real pain in the ass to import that thing to NZ. So im tempted to buy a new/second hand rifle. This rifle i want to set up for longer range hunting and want to use it for all the big game animals on the south island. So i think a 7mm rem mag would do the job. With all this in mind i'm in doubt between a NZ classic Tikka t3x or a Sauer 101. When available i would like to set it up with a Swarovski z5i 3.5-18x44. Could you guys help me break down the differences between the Tikka t3x and Sauer 101. Both good rifles but i havent used them both so i'm keen to learn how they compare to each other.

Cheers!
