In the video above, American Hunter Digital Associate Editor David Herman takes a look at a new-for-2021 offering from J.P. Sauer & Sohn: the 101 Highland XTC.

A rifle taking full advantage of carbon-fiber technologies to drop its weight to an impressive 5.4 pounds, the 101 Highland XTC would make an excellent backcountry rifle for the discerning hunter. The fluted bolt runs smooth and locks tight, while the fluted barrel is protected from harm by a Diamond Like Coating (DLC).
