Heavily Discounted Sauer Rifles

Sauer rifles were ridiculously priced for the last three years.
People no longer can afford these high prices.
Quality control on these guns are moderate, definitely not high.
Pressed in barrels, and not threaded into the receiver does not help. CSC has worked on a lot of warranty issues with Sauer according to their staff members I spoke with…:(
I originally sold these rifles in my gun shop at $1600.00 to $1800.00 retail, depending on the model. I eventually cleared them at a huge discount in early 2024. Average sale price then was approximately $1200.00-$1300.00.
Today, I see these same models sell for $900.00 - $1050.00. Sometimes less in various gun shops.
The ones I sold, all had magazine fitment issues. The distribution center in the USA sent me 16 extra magazines. One for each model I sold, or had in stock. This was a gesture for the ill-fitting factory original magazines.
One of my employees bought a 6.5 PRC model, bronze cerakote with a Desert Tan type camo synthetic stock. He likes it, and it shoots well, but the same ill-fitting OEM magazines. This includes the new one direct from Sauer.
I would not hesitate to buy one at the $1000.00 or less price tag.
They are still very nice rifles….:)

Haven't come across this issue among the several sauer's i own. From 6.5x55, 6.5 creedmoor, 7mm rem mag, 30-06, 8x57, and 9.3x62. My expirence has been great, prefer them over my tikka's.

Huhm…’over a Tikka’? I’ve never owned Sauers….pretty much everything else and always felt Tikkas were tough to knock for accuracy, smooth actions, and great factory triggers. Might have to educate myself on Sauer a little.
 
I prefer the stock design and length of pull on the sauer. The flush mag also makes it a nicer rifle to carry. The 3 position safety is a nice feature. Accuracy is great as to be expected with European rifles.

All that to say, the tikka is still a good option as well.

I think quality control has definitely suffered on several firearms manufactures these days. It's hard to say why exactly.:unsure:

Possibly too much pressure to produce huge numbers of inventory being shipped out. This ideology does not make sense to me, but I'm not a firearms manufacturer either.:ROFLMAO:

The way they handle warranty issues and good customer service is definitely a key factor in customer resolution though.:)

The two Sauer rifles I fired were in 6.5 Creedmoore and 6.5 PRC. Both were accurate, bolt cycle was very smooth, love the larger bolt handle, trigger broke crisp and clean with no creep, cerakote finish was real nice, and accuracy was excellent.

The pressed in barrel is a concern, but they seem to work.:unsure:

At $1000.00 or under, she's a no brainer.:D

I did buy a rifle at CSC last week, although it was a rimfire, not a centerfire.:)

The Sauer 101 has a pressed in barrel. The Sauer 100 has a threaded in barrel.
I own a 101 in 243 and am very happy with it. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
