Hi and welcome to Team Wild's Gear Show. Today I am going to be showing you something very
special, a powerhouse of a rifle, the Sauer 101.
The Sauer 101 is setting a new standard in bolt-action rifles, delivering phenomenal
accuracy and ultimate safety. The slogan for the Sauer 101 is "old school, new rules" and
I can see why. J.P. Sauer & Son combined everything conventional about a bolt-action rifle whilst
integrating a whole host of new innovations. The innovation that most stands out to me
is the Dura Safe.
The Dura Safe is an ergonomic switch on the back of the rifle and it prevents you from
accidentally taking the rifle off safe. It also locks the firing pin instead of the trigger
unlike on most bolt-action rifles. The best part about this switch is that it's completely
silent so it can be engaged and disengaged right when you need it most. With a touch
of a button, the safe mode allows you to work the bolt while the rifle still has the safety
engaged.
The bolt has a 60 degree trail, a full diameter bolt body with two ejectors and six locking
lugs for extra reliability and safety.
The 101 has a crisp, two pound pull from an extra wide trigger delivering pinpoint accuracy.
After pulling the trigger, you'll notice a significant reduction in recoil. This is thanks
to the Sauer 101's clever weight distribution and pistol grip. This makes it very comfortable
and to add to Sauer's everest concept ensures accuracy over thousands of shots even in the
most demanding conditions giving you complete peace of mind.
The neutral cast offers perfect presentation for both right and left handed shooters.
Another great feature about this impressive 101 is a detachable polymer magazine. It's
extremely durable, weatherproof, it holds five cartridges in regular calibers and four
magnum calibers.
I was lucky enough to test it out with Keith Anderson at the Garlands Sauer 101 launch
and was really impressed with it.
The Sauer 101 comes in two models. The dark walnut traditional stock and the classic XT
which is a synthetic, soft-touch stock. Myself and Mr. Anderson used this amazing rifle on
our recent travels to Hungary. I took my first ever roe buck with the 101 in the searing
summer heat. As we glassed the early morning, misty plains, the Sauer was lightweight and
easy to carry. Then when the sun began to heat up and the animals began to move, my
buck showed its face. The rifle performed perfectly despite being a tricky shot off
to my right. The buck ran but didn't get far. A great shot, right in the engine room, meant
that when we found him, he was finished.
Keith used his synthetic stock, Sauer 101 whilst hunting his first ever wild boar and
stalking with the legendary Zoltan. Shooting gets at a moving yearling in dense wood Keith
needed the rifle to be accurate and reliable and he wasn't disappointed. One shot and the
animal didn't get far. The bullet hit the boar right where he put the crosshairs. Keith
was over the moon with his first wild boar and rightly so. Good shooting me old mate.
However, he wasn't done there. Keith was out again with the Sauer 101 and the mighty Zoltan.
Similar conditions, similar shot and a familiar outcome for the wild boar of Hungary. Another
tricky shot made easy by the Sauer 101.
Sauer 101, it's a good looking rifle. It's safe, it's highly accurate. What more could
you want from a gun?
