dicehorn 38 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone have any experiance with this rifle? Just interested in any pro, cons & views or suggestions of alternative in the same price bracket. Use would be for stalking. Cheers Have always liked Sauer and when choosing a rifle for stalking a few years ago found (for the money I was prepared to spend) it difficult to choose between a Sauer and a Blaser - ended up with the Blaser for no other reason than the straight pull. A friend of mine in the gun trade to whom I recently spoke to has suggested that the present build quality of the Sauer is no longer as good as it was, he thought that pound for pound the Sako was now the up and coming rifle - just his opinion - I dont have an opinion cos I just dont know Peter Quote Link to post

I want to stay with a 6.5 but switch to a rifle with a composite stock. A new model is out of my price range but i was debating whether a good condition second hand Sauer (anout £750) would be a better bet than a new gun in the same price range? Quote Link to post
sauer 2 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 well i have one (surprise with my forum name! ) Sauer202 synthetic in .25-06 with a pez12 sound mod . bloody love it. fine weight and handling. ability to "take down" rifle and clean the "throat" etc. cons..... lack of ability for future "customising /semi customising macmillian stocks etc? nope!! ....due to it being a "take down" rifle ..ie, ability to strip it down in minutes to basic component parts. sauer Quote Link to post
dicehorn 38 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Bit of a coincidence this - me mentioning above that my friend thought the Sako was now the up and coming quality riflr - well yester a friend of a friend heard that I do a few things with bullets for te 6.5 and asked me if I could work out a load for his Sako Quad in 6.5 Must confess having done a few of these, did not take long - just to give you an idea what the quad is capable of doing, here are a couple of scans The first scan shows from a clean rifle firing 3 shots then bought it down 4 cms but did not bring it to the right as I wanted to keep the bull area clear because of my right eye cataract The attachments did not work so here are the links to them http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/wyndog/Graham1.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/wyndog/graham2.jpg Edited May 30, 2009 by dicehorn Quote Link to post
