Cuz maybe in the real world where the 303 Brit is a distant memory of the 1920s, Sauer thought 'Hmmmm, our last rifle was the 202, so this one should be the 303, since it draws its lines from the 202', Just a wild guess

And the 202 is the more recent model of the 200 so I guess that blows that theory out of the water.

You know it looks kind of neat...BUT, there are some things I would get in writing or at least an email responce from the manufacturer/local dealer berfore I would commit to a sale.
1. Ask if rifle chamber is built to SAAMI specs. (my Voere 2185, has an almost match tolerance chamber....in other words rarely feeds and chambers over the counter hunting ammo 100% of the time)
2. What is the twist rate?
( again my rifle prefers only bullets of 168 grain or less...short throat)
3. Any extrenal adjustments to the trigger that could lighten the pull to potentially dangerous levels (ie-a hairtrigger)
These are important questions, that us North Americans must ask our Euro friends. Because they do not have the variety of big game choices that we do. So they think differently about thier tools of harvest.
On the plus side, commercial Euro rifles generally are made to exacting tolerances, generally beautifully finished,and will work like a charm if fed the correct ammo.
My excessive two cents worth....

I expect it will do everything N.American Semis do (Except jam) with Elan but considering my 200 action has frozen twice I would'nt bother buying a 303, well and it would elicit the same reaction as a ghilli suit made out of mossy oak dildo's around these parts!
