Sauer 202
- Thread starter Rembo
- Start date
They are very nice rifles and I prefer them to any factory built NA rifle. They have an interchangeable barrel system, and the barrels are cold hammer forged from Krupp steel. I *think* they all have set triggers, which is another feature I really like.
The action has 6 locking luggs and unlike the Sauer 80 and 90 the lugs are at the front of the bolt. The action lifts 60 degrees and is smooth.
You can't really modify them like you can with a model 700 Remington or 70 Winchester, but that doesn't bother me at all. They are accurate, smooth and have an awesome trigger right out of the box. I can't believe that those rifles haven't sold at P&D, because at those prices they are a steal, imo.
A fellow could have one barrel in .25-06 or .270 and another in 9.3x62 - that would be an excellent set-up for all your big game hunting needs.
The rifles are modular, so you can change a variety of features to suite your needs/taste:
4 fore-ends
5 butt stocks
2 stock materials
9 wood grades
8 bolts
3 triggers
2 receivers
13 barrel versions
3 sights
22 calibres

That makes perfect sense.
It would be good to know what to expect for cost and, of course, for availability of other barrels (and bolts, if necessary).
Might be time to check with P&D...

I had hoped that they would finally get around to the 300H&H as I understand that 202 barrels are interchangable.

I own one. They're very well made and exceptionally accurate. The one I own is in 30-06 and prints one and half inch groups at 300 yds. Buy one they are well worth the extra money.

I like the interchangeabilty. I have been trying to convince Sauer in Germany to offer barrels in 338-06 - which would be a great addition to their caliber offering. I have been thinking about getting a barrel in 9.3x62 but would rather see them produce something in 338 cal which gives a much better choice in bullet selection.
The cartridges they offer in same action length come from the same family. The beauty of the Sauer system is that you can use the same bolt for all calibers.
