Sauer 101 is a bolt action rifle manufactured by Sauer & Sohn that was launched in 2013.[1] The rifle is manufactured on the same factory and shares many parts with the Mauser M12.[2]

Technical

The stock comes with a proprietary bedding system called "Ever-Rest" which consists of a metal block around the front action screw.[3] The rifle was launched in two variants; "Classic" with a walnut stock and "Classic XT" with a black synthetic stock. Several other variants have since been introduced, including:

The receiver has an outside profile similar to the Remington 700[5] which allows for the use of standard Remington 700 scope pattern scope mount.

The bolt has 6 locking lugs and a 60 degree bolt throw, and locks directly into the barrel instead of into the receiver.[6] The barrel is mounted to the receiver without action threads with a press fit and heat.[7]
