Love the dogs! Nice review.

[@camdeskjockey2355]

Great gun. Excellent accuracy. However, the dogs where the stars of the show. Very hansome and playful.

[@Snowball042]

cam deskjockey They are something else at times. Today the older one (Emma) is wearing a cone on her head to keep her from messing with her back paw that she scraped while playing with Ben. Should be back to normal in a day or two. Always something with those two. Our four legged children! 🙂

[@fredbecvar7463]

I bought this in 6.5. I really like this gun. It is my favorite. I have the NIKON BLACK mounted on it and this thing is a tac driver. Beautiful action. Smooth as butter. If you get one you will be impressed.

[@brettbentley1690]

Loved the dogs ! Oh yeah.. Great gun video too : )

[@ed5042]

sure does look and act identical to the SHR970! thanks for the review

[@davidmorris6276]

I am gonna subscribe just cause your dog made me laugh. I do appreciate your review also.

[@larrysayers1377]

I have this same rifle in 30-06 too. Shoots less than 1.15” in 4 factory loads of 180gr/165gr bullets. My fav is the 165gr GMX in Hornady Superformance and that is what I currently use on elk deer moose black bear etc here in western Canada. I handload 220gr Nos Part though for grizzly defense. The detach mag holds 5 rounds and one in the tube so that is a lot of firepower. The only issue I had was the LOP at 14.25”. I’m 5’8 so I cut the stock down, cut/sanded a 1” insert made of wood, epoxied it in and put on a Pachmyer decelerator.

Lots of good info there -- thanks! And wuf wuf!

Beautiful dog two thumbs up

Just ordered the 100 Fieldshoot, can't wait to get it

[@Zotzi524]

Great video I have the same rifle what rounds are you using

[@ValcoBayrunner]

I think you're 3rd shot flyer is from barrel heat. Ill bet if you waited 5 mins it would group better. Nice rifle overall. Held a 7mm-08 rifle tonight at dealer, very compact and pointable.

[@jmfa57]

I hate detachable magazines on bolt action hunting rifles, but if I found one of these in 8x57, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I am going to guess that your barrel was kinda warm on your bigger groups. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Snowball042]

jmfa57 : it would be great to have this German made rifle in a German designed cartridge. 9.3x62 (also a German cartridge) would be great too but I have that round in a Ruger African.

[@rogermellen5832]

What did you use for bases and rings. I had a terrible time finding something that fit nice.

[@florianw.6068]

Super rifle and beautiful dog - is it a duck tolling retriever?

Love the dogs! Don't keep them out of the video. Please keep them in! By the way, nice review!

[@nathankenny7454]

Your dog is beautiful

[@steveokon5431]

Love your dog! I really want one too! I like this Sauer over all the others. Want in .243 or .270 Thanks.. No BS

[@Aussie038]

Question: Does the bolt lock on the action or the barrel?

[@bartowpd342]

Just bought one in 6.5 prc, just trying to figure out what scope I want on it for hunting

[@mountainsstreams2133]

Great review thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@ElrataAlata]

I’ve heard the bolt feels very tight on these did you have the same experience?

[@salahbelboula5306]

Beautiful

[@Snowball042]

Salah Belboula : It’s a great rifle for the price.

[@jadem4893]

Great rifle very accurate and nice looking but the real question is?? Can you change the barrel on it or is it a throw away rifle after 1500 rounds? Does that reflect in the price it sells for? That's the real question?

[@nissman1753]

I have a 100xt in .308, gun shoots great until I can’t open the bolt anymore lol after cycling the action 5-8 times the bolt binds up solid whether there’s a cartridge in chamber or not, then after an hour it releases. Any ideas what could cause this?

[@davidlaney8254]

First rifle I've come across that has a LOP of 14-1/2 inches. That's a lot.

[@nickbehney9202]

Where'd you find it for $550 at?

[@CallicoonOutdoors]

What are the scope bases and size mounts

[@akhladi2]

Like your dogs so much...they are not pain in the bott at all...best friends...by the way,what do you prefer amoung sauer 100,m 18 and cz 557 synthetic edition?

[@Snowball042]

I like both the Sauer and Mauser. I don’t have a 557. If I had to choose, I’d say the Sauer 100. I like the metal trigger guard and floor plate. The stock is also astetically appealing. I like German styling.

[@donaldbarrier5806]

Love the dogs.

[@understandingtruth10]

It the trigger plastic ?

[@pathfinderga]

I like your video. I’m considering this gun, tikka t3x and maybe browning hells canyon. ...Any opinion?

[@Snowball042]

pathfinderga The Tikka has great reviews and I’ll add one in the future. The one thing I’d say about the Sauer is that it really doesn’t look or feel like an economy rifle. The Tikka has a plastic trigger guard and bottom metal. Not a big deal but if I didn’t know how much the Sauer cost me, I’d think it was much more expensive. Like around $1k. Sculpted receiver, great trigger, actual bottom metal, sturdy stock, great accuracy. It all says quality, not economy.

[@jeremyreichmuth4626]

pathfinderga I have a Sauer 100 xt the silver cerkote version and it feels better and is a better shooter than my Sako A7.

[@kentac1911]

Great review! I'm looking at one in 9.3x62

[@gregwalker4236]

the 9.3 x 62 is a brute--i have an old sako--kicks like my 375s. i'm thinking about an 8x57 as i get older (every year)!

[@Snowball042]

Thanks. Did you ever get the one in 9.3? I enjoy the 9.3x62 in my Ruger African Rifle. The Ruger is a bit heavier and the recoil isn’t bad at all. More of a heavy shove than anything else.

[@Snowball042]

Greg Walker : I know what you mean. Feeling more recoil than in my early days. My first Center fire was a borrowed .243. I might pick up one soon. Neat little round.

[@kentac1911]

@@Snowball042 Just picked up my Sauer in 9.2x62 today! They have been extremely hard to find, but I managed to locate one.

[@GarfieldEnjoyer1878]

What is the trigger made of?

[@DMX-PAT]

I believe the barrel is heat seated in the receiver and can't be removed, not that it's a bad thing...

[@dolf3288]

thelocustemperor that’s on a different model. This ones threaded on

[@Jimmymag909]

I dislike the detachable magazines on a bolt action rifle...ive lost a couple walking thru thick brush...

Where did you get such a great deal? Cheapest I can find right now is $712. How the recoil on the ought six?

[@Snowball042]

Boris Buliak : It was at a local gun shop. They had all of their Sauer 100’s on sale. $550. Just wish they would have had one in 8x57. I would have bought two.

سلام آقای مهندس عالی عالی است

[@woellitonluanlealalves9645]

O martelamento a frio

[@99somerville]

I wonder what the cost savings is for the manufacturer to use a plastic trigger guard instead of a metal one? Can't be much, and it gives the impression that the gun is cheap.

[@Snowball042]

somerville99: I was thinking that too. I’d rather spend a few bucks more and have the metal one.

[@jmfa57]

The difference is actually quite a bit if you are talking about a machined trigger guard versus an injection molded plastic part. Even the MIM or cast metal housings cost more than the plastic, but I too would pay more for a more durable product.

[@shalininaicker]

How heavy is the recoil of the Sauer in 30-06 ?

[@Snowball042]

The recoil for the 30-06 in this rifle is softer than most other rifles in this chambering. Other rifles, like the modern Winchester 70 has a superior recoil pad which makes it a soft shooter. The Sauer on the other hand, has a different stock design that helps with recoil. I’d call it a ‘muted’ recoil. The end result is that recoil is surprisingly soft.

If you had used 6,5x55 which is really popular in Norway your resuslt would have been better

[@andredanciu8402]

[@budalamala5418]

[@frogmanjack8790]

The M18 is pretty much a Sauer 100. Mauser, Sauer, Blaser and Rigby are all owned by the same people.

Only barrel made in germany

[@Snowball042]

Krišs Kursītis : No....entire rifle is made in Germany.

[@petertelford4900]

Sorry but try adjusting your scope so you hit the bullseye, I'd be more impressed if it was in the centre of the target . love your dog

[@Snowball042]

Peter Telford : Arrgg...you would have to follow a comment I disagree about with a “love your dog”. So, thanks for the kind comment about my dog and this was my first outing with the rifle and I had very little time I could spend on the range. Work, family..... So yes, it would be nicer if the groups were centered (that did come later) but that wasn’t the point. ‘It prints small groups’ was and is the point. Ben says thanks too. He is a good boy!

[@petertelford4900]

Sorry mate but I'm excited Australian army the first thing you do when you have a scope on your rifle is zero it so when you make your little video to shoot your groups do it in the bullseye , don't worry you are just like the thousand other guys and girls who are proud of there grouping and not there marksmanship , why not zero get small group in bullseye then more people might watch because you are a good shot , oh fuck that guy gets the bullseye and small group no excuse zero then group .

[@frufru0071]

Thank you for sharing this video with us. It’s pronounced “LOOPOLD”, but considering what you probably paid for such a great scope, you should be able to say it however you’d like!

[@MrHf4l]

I’ve never seen anyone work a bolt like you do…looks uncomfortable.

[@Snowball042]

No worry’s. What you saw is a function of dealing with shooting from a Lead Sled shooting rest. The back of the rest gets in the way of cycling the bolt normally. I usually palm the bolt which I learned from speed shooting a borrowed Remington 788 in the late 1970’s.
