Sauer 100 Classic XT - Out of the Box Accuracy Test 

I have this rifle in 30-06 and 9.3x62 and they both shoot great! The 30-06 puts Hornady Whitetail 150gr and Remington Corelokt 180gr RN in the same sub-1.5" group at 100 yds.

New mexico checking in. I have that rifle in 270. Great shooter. Pick it up for elk oryx and mule deer. We will see how my dear hunt goes this year. Very happy with the rifle.

Love the channel guys. I always appreciate the reviews, and hunting footage. The last video included chuck hunting with that her Bergara hmr, and it sold me on purchasing one myself. I also like the looks of the dark camo stocked Savage 6.5 Of Eric’s. You guys have some great rifles.

If I remember correctly you should not need to break the barrel in as its cold hammer forged, there really won't be imperfections that need to be smoothed out like a competition cut barrel. I have this rifle in 8x57mm mauser and love it.

Great video and well done. I had this rifle in 30-06 and it shot remarkably accurate in 3 or 4 brands of ammo. Settled on the 165gr GMX by Hornady because of the consistent .75” groups. I’m only 5’9” and I found the length of pull at 14.4” to be a little stretch for me so I cut down the stock, inserted a wooden block and put a pachmyer on it to my lop of 13.5”. I eventually sold the rifle but now have a Sauer 101 xt in 7 Rem. Doing the same thing with it too. I just wish Sauer would lower the lop or at least put on a decent recoil pad instead of that hockey puck material. But great rifles. Hard to beat a 5 round detachable mag that holds 5 in 06 length and 4 in magnum actions. My 7 shot 3 brands of factory ammo .75”-1.2” and I’m not done testing the other brands yet.

Had great results with the 123 ssts and Big Game Powder, try it went well for me.

I have the same 6.5 Creedmoor and have had my best results with the 147gr Hornady Match.

This rifle will give Tikka TX3 a run for its money

I have the same rifle. It’s a pretty sweet rifle, but it would not fire lapua brass. It would soft strike the primers. Switched to adg LRP brass. It has a 1-8.5 or 1-9 twist as far as I remember.

If you use a bulls bag up front instead of that caldwell your groups will magically tighten up. Worked for me and many others!

I have never had much luck with lighter grain loads as far as super tight grouping, but the 140, 143, and 147 Eld line up has always done well in my rig....but as you said those would all be kill shots on game if that's your only goal! Looks like a great rifle imo!

Hi Chuckin, great video man, thanks for the test and details. I have one question to you though, I checked your other out of the box video for Tikka T3x Lite as well, so now that you have both rifles Tikka T3x and Sauer 100 Classic XT for a while, what would you say, suggest to me? I am planning to buy one of those two and I'm quite lost with all the reviews and comparisons I found online. Another option I look at is Browning AB3. Your input is much appreciated.

👍 thanks again !

Hey my friend, I got a question, If there are tikka t3x and Sauer 100 6.5 CRD, Which one do you prefer? Which one feeling nicer?

Wow, great rifle with a great scope. Did you buy this rifle three months ago?

I was wondering what this model of SIG shoots like,..this is good shooting.

I have been considering getting the Sauer classic 100 xt 6.5 cm but these groups are- Terrible. If this is the expected accuracy.. how does this compare to a tikka in any form? Or bergara or savage axis ii xp ? My tikka, bergara, even Ruger American in various calibers shoot well under an inch! I was really interested in this rifle as the price point at this time is very good…. The most overlooked rifle is the First Gen. TC Venture. ‘If you know, you know’ 3/8” groups with .308 The Bergara wilderness ridge is smoking accurate with the 129’s (bergara recommends 143 eld) Someone tell me if the tested ammo doesn’t work for this rifle or if the rifle actually sux?

What’s been your favorite light weight hunting rifle you have experience with?

What scope mount did you use? I have one of these in 6.5x55 Swedish on order

You got a trailer Hornady 123 grain ssds Winchester 748 towards the high-end

I think break-ins are bs, anyway.

Can u get any other calibers other than a 6.5

Sick of 6.5 freakmo

Made in Germany😜💪🏻

Another 6,5 creedmore 🤮

Remington crelock is the most actuate ammo the make. Bro

Dude this is not classic
