German-crafted precision meets modern magnum ballistics.

With 4+1 capacity and optics-friendly mounting, the Classic XT is a proven platform for western spot-and-stalk hunting, beanfield whitetail, and long-range practice.
Why Hunters Choose the Sauer 100 Classic XT in 6.5 PRC
6.5 PRC performance: Higher case capacity than 6.5 CM for more velocity, flatter trajectory, and improved wind drift—great for elk, mule deer, and open-country shots.
22" threaded barrel: Field-friendly length with factory muzzle threads for brakes or suppressors (where legal; verify pitch), improving recoil control and shot-to-shot stability.
Ergo Max stock geometry: A raised comb and straight recoil line encourage a repeatable cheek weld and help you spot impacts for quick corrections.
Matte blued protection: Low-glare finish on barrel and receiver resists the elements and reduces visual signature in bright sun.
Silky three-lug bolt: Short 60° bolt lift and smooth raceways for fast cycling without breaking your shooting position.
Out-of-the-box accuracy: Sauer’s tight tolerances and barrel quality deliver consistent groups with premium factory 6.5 PRC loads.

Built for Real-World Hunts
Carry all day: Balanced center of gravity and synthetic stock make miles of side-hilling and ridge walking manageable.
Cold-bore confidence: Consistent chambering and barrel uniformity support predictable first-round impact, vital when your shot window is seconds.
Weather-ready design: Composite stock and matte blued steel shrug off rain, snow, mud, and temperature swings.
Optic-friendly: Receiver accepts common bases/rings so you can mount trusted hunting glass and get to zero quickly.
Handling, Ergonomics & Control
Natural point of aim: The Ergo Max comb height aligns the eye with modern 40–56 mm objectives for clean sight pictures.
Manageable recoil: 6.5 PRC energy, tempered by stock geometry and a compatible brake/suppressor, keeps the reticle on target for faster follow-ups.
Trigger confidence: Crisp, user-friendly trigger (specs vary by run) supports clean breaks and tight groups.
Ideal Use Cases
Elk & mule deer across canyons: High-BC bullets at PRC velocities for ethical shots in wind.
Western spot-and-stalk: Lightweight, durable build with accuracy that travels.
Beanfield & ridgeline whitetail: Long sight lines and stable prone/pack positions.
Range & data days: Consistent harmonics make dope truing and seasonal re-zero straightforward.
Pro Tip: Test several premium 6.5 PRC loads (e.g., 140–156 gr high-BC bullets). Chronograph your chosen ammo and build an elevation/wind card tailored to your hunting elevations and temperatures.

Setup & Zeroing Best Practices
Optic pairing: Choose proven hunting glass (3–15x, 4–16x, or 5–25x) with dependable turrets; torque to spec and witness-mark screws.
Muzzle device: Verify thread pitch before installing a brake or suppressor; time/torque properly with shims if required.
Chrono & true: Record velocities and true your solver at 600–800+ yards for reliable dope across temperatures and density altitude.
Field validation: Practice from bipod, pack, and tripod positions so your zero translates outside the bench.
Transport & storage: Use a padded case; recheck action and base torque after travel or large temperature swings.
Care & Maintenance
Bore care: Use a bore guide and non-marring rod; manage copper fouling 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 robust—still wipe down after wet or dusty hunts to preserve screws, threads, and interfaces.
