I had a sauer in .308 sold it earlyer this year,realy good rifle had it screw cut and P.E.S mod on it.A very accurate rifle never had any problems with it,shot fox roe sika and reds with it. I also handloaded for it and it was very hard to find an inacurate load for it though it would not stabilize 110gr bullets,the wood was beutiful and came up well with a bit of oil and no matter the weather not a bit of rust the blue was very deep,I only sold it because of the wieght and the overall size of it,buy it and you will not be disapointed.P.S. just watch the forend for it should freefloat if not take the sling swivel out insert the allen key that should come with the rifle remove the forend and remove some of the wood reaseal and reasemble.
