Why Hunters Choose the Sauer 100 Classic XT (6.5 Creedmoor)
Modern 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics: High-BC bullet selection, mild recoil, and flat flight simplify wind calls and extend practical hunting distances.
22" threaded barrel: Optimized for field handling and velocity, with factory threads for adding a muzzle brake or suppressor (where legal; verify pitch).
Ergo Max stock geometry: A raised comb and straight recoil line support a repeatable cheek weld, faster follow-up shots, and consistent eye-to-scope alignment.
Matte blued steel: Low-glare protection on barrel and receiver resists the elements and avoids flash in bright sun.
Silky three-lug action: Short bolt lift and controlled cycling make reloads fast and smooth without breaking your shooting position.
Out-of-the-box accuracy: Sauer’s tight manufacturing tolerances are designed to deliver excellent precision with a variety of factory hunting loads.

Setup & Zeroing Best Practices
Optics pairing: Choose reliable hunting glass (e.g., 3–15x, 4–16x, or 5–25x) with sturdy rings/bases; torque to spec and witness-mark screws.
Muzzle device: Verify thread pitch before installing a brake or suppressor; time/torque properly with shims as required.
Chrono & true: Record velocities and true your solver at 600–800 yards for dependable dope.
Field validation: Practice from realistic positions—pack, bipod, tripod—so your zero translates off the bench.
Transport & storage: Use a padded case; recheck action and base torque after travel or big temperature swings.
Care & Maintenance
Bore care: Use a bore guide and non-marring rod; manage copper for consistent long-range precision.
Light lubrication: Keep bolt lugs and raceways lightly oiled for smooth cycling without attracting grit.
Finish protection: Matte bluing is durable—still wipe down after wet/dusty hunts to preserve screws, threads, and interface surfaces.
