About the Sauer 100
The Sauer 100 is a bolt-action hunting rifle from the legendary German gunmaker J.P. Sauer & Sohn, designed to bring German engineering quality to a more accessible price point. It features a three-position safety (fire, safe, safe with bolt operation), an adjustable single-stage trigger, cold hammer-forged barrel, and detachable box magazine. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the ergonomic synthetic stock with soft-touch surface provides a secure grip in all weather conditions. Available in numerous calibers from .243 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum, the Sauer 100 offers configurations for hunting, varminting, and field target shooting.
J.P. Sauer & Sohn, founded in 1751, is one of the oldest firearms manufacturers in the world. The Sauer 100 brought the company's 270+ years of German gunmaking heritage to the sub-$1000 price segment for the first time, proving that Teutonic engineering precision didn't have to carry a premium-only price tag.
