Don't really want to move the focus of this thread but I am interested in your take on the Sauer 100. What am I missing?
I did buy one a little while, just as a back up rifle. So far I quite like it. Nice high comb (better head position than my Tikka t3x), excellent trigger out of the box, nice 5 shot double stack mag which can be loaded from the top and doesn't hang below the stock like my Tikka. Action is not quite as smooth but pretty good, short 60 degree bolt throw. Accuracy out of the box is good, although it took a few rounds for the barrel to settle down. I did have to disassemble the bolt and smooth the burrs around the ejector hole, these burrs were marking the fired cases and looked like pressure signs. Not a big fan of the way the bedding screws are set up with the big hex nut on the front bedding bolt but at least the factory bedding was good and true.
