For shooters moving up from entry-level rifles or for seasoned hunters seeking a purpose-built precision platform, a modern bolt action that balances ergonomics, barrel quality, and adjustable controls is essential. A rifle that tames recoil, positions the head naturally behind optics, and delivers repeatable accuracy gives you confidence across practical field scenarios and long-range shoots.

What sets the SAUER 100 CLASSIC XT apart

The SAUER 100 CLASSIC XT raises the standard for entry-level rifles by incorporating Sauer’s ERGO MAX shaft with a back-rising comb that naturally improves head position behind the riflescope. That design yields calmer, more consistent aiming and quicker sight acquisition. The rifle also features an adjustable trigger and a three-position safety that gives the shooter more control in the field.

Barrel and action details

At the heart of the system is a cold hammer-forged original Sauer barrel — a hallmark of durability and consistent accuracy. The action’s 60-degree shutter opening angle shortens bolt travel and clears optics more readily than traditional designs, making follow-up shots faster and more ergonomic.

The rifle uses a double-row removable magazine and a neutral stock that accommodates both right and left cheek placement, broadening its appeal for different shooters and scope setups. The blend of features makes it a compelling option for hunters, long-range enthusiasts, and those seeking a dependable bolt action at a solid price point.

Chambered in 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC), the SAUER 100 CLASSIC XT leverages the caliber’s strengths: high ballistic coefficient bullets, excellent downrange energy retention, and flatter trajectories compared with many traditional hunting calibers. That makes the platform well-suited for extended-range hunting and precision work where retained velocity and terminal performance matter.

Price-conscious buyers will note the listed price of $575.99, which positions this rifle as an accessible yet feature-rich option for shooters who want Sauer engineering without stepping into premium pricing tiers. View product details and pricing
