Thread: Sauer Rifle

Had a Sako A7 upgraded to a Sauer 101XT in the cal. (.270) Now I have gone for a finnlight in a 25-06 cal. it is lighter but seems like a comedown in quality, the bolt and the factory bedding on the 101 were far superior . However I needed to add a decent recoil pad to the 101 and shorten the LOP of the stock. [The 100 is about a grand cheaper than the 101 the 202, 404 etc. are high end beautiful rifles]

My experience was that the M18 is one of the most solid and reliable value for money rifles around. Excellent trigger, works flawlessly, V block bedding. Good solid stock. My 6.5prc was very accurate too. If I wanted a bash around rifle for on a quad or suchlike its what I would have.
