Sauer "S100 Ceratech" 223 Rifle (with accuracy testing)

The Sauer S100 rifle performed well however I did have some minor magazine issues...

[@kayledoesstuff1305]

Great to see that range a tad greener mate!

[@MrMurlz]

I love my Sauer. 60gr Hornady TAP shoot amazingly well. I have shot 10 rounds under an inch and get 5 rounds consistently. Thanx for the review.

Chris Murley thanks, Chris. Sounds like you’ve got a very well made, enjoyable rifle. What could be better?! Cheers.🍻

I have a Sauer 100 Classic in 6.5x55 Swede topped with a Sig Sauer Whiskey 3 scope. Love the rifle and love the scope

[@angrytrek]

Fantastic rifles. I have the 100 Atacama in .243. No issues at all with the mag. Thanks for the review.

[@smarty_7997]

Mauser m18 in .308 would be an awesome next review! Great price at the moment from cleaver!

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Nice light weight and accurate rifle and not expensive either. Ozzie I’m hoping you can do a review of another budget European rifle , the Mauser M18 that is about the same price as the Sauer S100 .

[@chrisjohnson38]

Thanks for the review Aussie, that action is a dead ringer for my Thompson centre venture in 223 which is made by Smith and Wesson, I wonder if saur did a deal with them.

[@WadeCarberry]

Mate they have a 5 shot moa guarantee. The magazine was an issue with mine but it was an easy fix, chamfer the edges on the top of mag and it works every time. Another good video, thanks 👍

[@HuntingTime1]

Great review certainly excellent value for the money

[@mattrickard3716]

The very first time I took mine out I dropped a brand new lucky 13 mag straight in the dirt. I stuck the mag in the rifle and it stayed there until it was well clear of anything that it could fall on without filling up with crap. Lesson learned.

[@benwilmot8485]

I bought this gun about a year ago and it has been great. Funny that the only issue you found was the magazine being hard to get in if not on the right angle because that is what i found also.

[@dougalmcalpine6804]

You just put it in then click in from the front

[@akent46]

Good head to head with the Tikka T3

[@jamesc5320]

Great review ozzie the propety is looking great also. Is there any chance you could review the sauer 100 fieldshoot in 223 please.

[@neilboyle1768]

I have the sauer fieldshoot in .223 absolutely wonderful rifle, love tge timber stock, unfortunately i have the same issue with the magazine. I found if i engage it with a slight more pressure rear on the magazine there is no issue but if not square on or slight rear it will jam everytime. But beautiful rifle

[@neilboyle1768]

I find the heavier barrel more comfortable, my wife has a .23 in howa and i find that light. As far as accuracy for most shooters its practice, practice, practice with the rifle. Get to know it as good as you know your own hand. I comfortably hit 2inch gong at 300yds, can do it with my wifes also but ill hold it differently because its lighter. Basically i found the fieldshoot "fit" me thats half the battle won

[@kenshamrock3337]

(My mate) Has one of those Sig scopes and he keeps telling me how great it is and its one of his Favourites amoung scopes of that Price point. Just a heads up for those who are interested in them.

[@mattrickard3716]

The one on my 450 bushmaster is great in low light. Certainly no complaints from me.

[@PilotMcbride]

I've yet to find a 223 (particularly) that doesn't like Fed Prem ammo. Those Sauers are a brilliant rifle nonetheless, there should be a fix for the mag problem kicking around somewhere. Thanks for the review Oz.

[@andrewmoes1022]

I use Lucky 13 10-round magazines in my Sauer. They feed perfectly every time. Much more reliable than the magazine that came with it.

[@kenshamrock3337]

Really? I have herd they can be hit and miss. As in some work perfectly and some dont. But in saying that this is just what i read. Glad to hear the Lucky 13 is working well mate.

[@andrewmoes1022]

​@@kenshamrock3337 They're heavy, they're expensive, and worst of all, they're discontinued! But at least, they never jam, and they never break.

[@Pumpactionforeskin]

Wow your property is unrecognizable. I've never seen it so lush and green 👍

[@ozziereviews]

Yep it’s amazing what over 300 mils will do :)

[@GamerGod186]

Going to pick one of these up in a timber stock for .270 caliber. Can’t wait

[@joshpedavoli4085]

Great review as always. Would you be able to do a comparison review with the Winchester XPR .223 cal..? Both entry-level rifles, thinking of either of these for the Mrs first centre fire rifle... All the best champ..

[@johnwilmott8063]

Ps, had been considering buying one, however think your demo changed my mind. Prefer the 1/9 twist on the CZ. Thanks for the informative review, had been hoping for a demo in the 223 caliber.

[@brianmilosevic8400]

Yes sir,just bought one

[@accuracyfreaks442]

Man.. i keep thinking that Winchester will eventually perform well in one of your rifle accuracy reports. I cant get it to shoot moa in any of my rifle's. Hmmmm maybe Winchester needs to go back to the drawing board with their load data. Thank you for another great review!

[@mikem859]

Hi Ozzie great review as always 😁 What do You think about new Bergaras (BXR and B14R)? There are no any videos about them so far.... regards Mike 😁

[@frankjaegar1805]

looks alot like a tikka T3 lite good stuff ozz man :)

[@jmkhenka]

yes, but better. Only plus with tikka is the large 3rd party extras (stocks etc). The rem 700 and tikka t3x is the most common rifles.. but the tikka is not as refined as the sauer 100 and sauer makes nice stock for it to for range work.

[@mattyv7499]

I own one of these beasts in .270 win. Shoots like a dream. Just wish the recoil pad was a little better on the wood stock. Can be a bit punishing from the bench doing load development. I wouldn't see this being a problem in lighter recoil calibre's. They look and feel great in the hand the barrel is slightly thicker then expected making it a tad heavier then expected. To the bloke that was asking about top loading. You can top the S100s of from the top no issues.

[@davidcoleman4941]

Couldn't agree more on the magazine, I had one and got rid of it because of the magazine issue. Reliably is everything to me, great site.

[@johnwilmott8063]

Interesting to see it handled the lightest ammo best. Thought with a 1/10 twist the 55/64 grain would have the edge. Have a cz 527 1/9 twist it likes the 55/64 grain best. I'd love to have the facility you have to shoot. Good value German made rifle all the same, pity about the mag glitch.

[@ustorm9]

Hey Ozzie, is there any chance of doing a review on the Lithgow LA101 in 17hmr?

[@jmkhenka]

the issue with the magazine is probably due to the way its made for 223. I had the sauer 101, and like the mauser m18 they share the exact same magazines. But the long action 6.5x55 is the magazine lenght and does not have that filler etc that the 223 has. I also belive that you can just push the bullets from the top, you dont need to load them from the front like he does. I never had to do that in the 6.5x55 i had or the 308 Mauser M18 i tested

[@bennonlapworth5026]

Ozzie how did you find the stock? Many of the cheaper bracket rifles the synthetic stocks seem hollow and not ridgid. Was this the same?

[@menace965]

Awesome video Ozzie👍 Any chance you could do a review on the ruger American ranch ar mag in 223 or 300blk? Thanks

[@sarnginthebrave3285]

menace965 I have the longer barrel version with the AR mag. The amount the mag sticks out the bottom can be a little annoying at time when hunting. And the bolt hold open gives me the shits. But nice having 10 in the mag for target practice. Depending on where you are in Aus, these mags are likely expensive and hard to get. I tried to order some from QLD but was told they have to be sent to my local dealer for collection and they charge a fee to receive them. Accuracy is good enough for hunting though. Little under an inch at 100m with OSA game kings. I'm mostly shooting pests off the wing mirror of the car and usually 50 to 150m

[@nickchristie7982]

Hey mate been watching for ages and love your stuff. Would love to see a review on the Remington 783 I have one in 223 good action and good accuracy out of it just a shame the polymer stock is a bit cheap.

[@harrykalos8540]

Have had one of these for a couple years now in .223 The cerakote finish is starting to look bad, discolour in some areas and a little rough in other spots, and I havnt even been rough with it. Bit of a feeding issue with the first round out of the magazine, hard to push in, I believe it's the angle that it comes out that is the problem. The stock still looks good and it's a very accurate shooter. Would I buy another one? Probably not in a cerakote finish.

[@dougalmcalpine6804]

The newer stainless one in mint

[@tonyfei472]

Hi Ozzie, can you do a Sauer 404 XTC review? I am in particular interested in its accuracy, cheers

[@akent46]

The magazine lock in is definitely a big issue. I have lots of trouble locking mine in as the seem of the polymer catches on the base of the entry point on the gun. A terible design flaw for an otherwise great firearm, i am searching for an aftermarket fix.

[@chrissue4131]

The mag insert issue is the one reason I crossed the Saur S100 off my list when I had a look at one a few months ago at a local gun shop. It is incredibly annoying and fidgety and the reason I’ve chosen the Lithgow. I would be interesting to see how the Saur Fieldshoot would go or if it suffers the same problems. Nice review none the less

[@dougalmcalpine6804]

It's easy to put the mag in , has a positive click when pushed in at the front of mag

[@seso384]

Hey Ozzie I am just about to purchase my first 223 . what is your favorite? cheers

[@jamesscott-mackenzie7232]

Thanks for the review. Magazines are enough to put me off rifles as well. Trying to find a good rifle that I can top load in the field is a nightmare as well when you are looking around the $1,250 mark too. Have you got any videos on a top loading rifle around that price point?

[@tikka2433]

James Scott-Mackenzie Most factory Howas are top feed and the ones that aren’t are easily changed with a bottom plate. Great shooting rifles and lots of aftermarket stocks and accessories. And the price of them is a bonus too.

[@jamesscott-mackenzie7232]

Tikka 243 thanks mate, I’ve got a Howa in 223 and enjoy shooting it. Get sub MOA groups with the right ammo too but I’m just not sure how long it will last. Looking at the Sako A7 but it might be a stretch for me unless I wait and save for a while.
