JP Sauer 100? Anyone?

[igotta40]

I saw a rifle that looks interesting. I didn’t know this company was even still around. I have one of their revolvers, a 357 Magnum from 1969. This one I saw is a Ceratech model, chambered in 6.5 PRC. From the reviews I’ve read, it may be on par with Tikka.

Does anyone have one of these rifles? Likes/dislikes?

It's the older brother of the mauser m18, mine in 6.5 prc will do 1/4 moa. Good rifles.

Troy, thanks, if it’s still there tomorrow I’m buying it. Might be a long time before I shoot it though, the way ammo is so scarce.

If it’s chambered in 6.5PRC, it’s custom or new.
But, yes, Sauer is still around, and making rifles, for the last 270-ish years.


STEVE HORNADY
President of Hornady Manufacturing Company

“We are delighted that Sauer, a highly respected German gunmaker that has been producing guns for over 267 years, has worked with Hornady to chamber a rifle in 6.5PRC. Sauer is the first European manufacturer to work with us to have a rifle chambered in a new caliber Hornady has developed at launch. This is a proud step for both companies.”

Sounds like a winning combination to me.

What are they going for in your neck of the woods?
Around here, it’s either, “what’s that?”, or they thinks it’s a Purdey and the first fifty thousand can take it.

The LGS had a 100. I think he had it confused with the 404. He wanted four thousand. (But not including the $250 scope...)

That looks like a real nice rifle. I know a lot of folks are shooting the 130-140 gr or heavier and folks can do what they want, but I happen to have a box of the Sierra 120 gr. Pro Hunters I was looking at the other day. Those things look like a good old school hunting bullet.

same company as Sig Sauer. Their 200 and 400 series rifles look absolutely delicious, but they're beyond my pay grade. I keep one eye open for the 200 series, which they made lefty and sometimes sells for less than $2000 used.

Correct. Hammereli and JP Sauer and Sohn were bought by SIG in the 70s.

Ive got a 1916 JP Sauer and Sohn Gew98 thats in mint (sporterized) shape and cycles like new. I have no experience with the newer stuff though.
