During the three years the Sauer 100 has been on the market, it has been portrayed as a bargain-priced bolt-action rifle.

J.P. Sauer & Sohn Sauer 100 - A 6.5 Creedmoor Field Rifle

The 100 is not priced like the Ruger American, Savage Axis or Mossberg Patriot rifles that sell for $300 and change. However, the 100 is a great deal and then some, with all the features usually found on rifles costing twice its price.

I’ve been shooting 100 Cherokee 6.5 Creedmoor a couple times a week for several months. All that shooting enabled me to appreciate the German method of manufacturing an affordable rifle that is useful, usable and produces consistently good accuracy.

The Sauer 100 is made in seven models from basic to fancy. The Classic features a dark-stained beechwood stock, and the Classic XT, Ceratech, Cherokee and Atacama are all outfitted with polymer stocks that Sauer calls “ERGO MAX,” comprised of a slight forward slant to a straight comb, Schnabel fore-end tip, deeply fluted comb nose and tightly curved grip. The polymer stocks have an “air surface texturing” with a somewhat tacky feel that provides a sure grip.

The Ceratech’s black stock is matched to a Grey-Ice CERAKOTE finish on the receiver and barrel. The Atacama’s stock is desert camouflage that blends into a Desert Sand CERAKOTE barreled actions while the Cherokee Woodland Digi camouflage merges into a Tundra Green CERAKOTE barreled action. Wild angles define the laminated-wood stocks on the Pantera and Fieldshot, which are adjustable for length of pull and comb height with vents cut in the forearm.
