Sauer S 303 in 9.3
#69459 - 14/01/07 12:14 PM

I was looking at the Sauer site and see they have a semi-auto in 9.3x62 with 5 round capacity! This would be a Buff' rifle with a difference! any one know anything about them?

I handled one a while ago, and for a semi-auto it certainly feels rather nice. It's lighter and not as clumpy as many other semi-autos available.

It's been written about in a few magazines here, and has gotten very good reveiws regarding quality, use, accuracy etc. And the trigger is supposedly better than most semi-autos, although not as perfect as possible with a non semi-auto trigger.

It's also interesting that they have integrated scope bases, which actually maintain POI when the scope is removed and put on again. And also interesting that it has manual cocking like the Blaser R93 and Mauser M03.

Personally though, I wouldn't trust a semi-auto for dangerous game. But it would be great for driven game such as wild boar etc (and as far as I've understood, was designed with this purpose in mind).

I do not usually like semi auto's but the Sauer looks pretty good but I will never handle one thanks to our firearm laws! I will dream on
