Sauer 101 is a bolt action rifle manufactured by Sauer & Sohn that was launched in 2013. The rifle is manufactured on the same factory and shares many parts with the Mauser M12.

Technical

The stock comes with a proprietary bedding system called "Ever-Rest" which consists of a metal block around the front action screw. The rifle was launched in two variants; "Classic" with a walnut stock and "Classic XT" with a black synthetic stock. Several other variants have since been introduced, including:

• Artemis
• Classic
• Classic XTA
• Classic XT
• Forest
• Forest XT
• GTI
• Highland XTX
• Select

The receiver has an outside profile similar to the Remington 700 which allows for the use of standard Remington 700 scope pattern scope mount.

The bolt has 6 locking lugs and a 60 degree bolt throw, and locks directly into the barrel instead of into the receiver. The barrel is mounted to the receiver without action threads with a press fit and heat.
