Sauer rifles are renowned for their European quality and hefty price tags that typically run into the thousands of dollars. So it came as a surprise at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits to find a new Sauer rifle, the 100 Classic, with a suggested retail price of $699. It may be the best value we found in Louisville.
The new Xtreme Ascent rifle combines the company's dual-lug Model 1999 cast action with a featherweight contour, button-rifled fluted barrel and a durable synthetic stock to create a rugged rifle that’s light enough to comfortably carry in even the toughest backcountry hunts.
