Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles This is one UGLY rifle!!

But it sure does shoot!!
I saw this thing months ago at a sort of local gun shop while looking for another wonder 9 pistol. I didnt handle it that day but thought dayuuum what an ugly rifle. Went home and googled "green rifle with camo stock" and there it was!!

Sauer 100 Cherokee

Laffed and laffed and went to bed. Thought about that butt ugly rifle all week. Looked at it online some more and realized the black version and silver coated barrel version were worse!! Couldnt find it anywhere in 7/08, so back to the sort of local gun shop to handle it. Just handle it!! Because I have restraint and control of my addiction! AND I have no use for 6.5 Creede!! Or any reloading supplies for the Creede

Got it home and installed the scope (thank ggodness the store had brass and dies) and realized how well it handles. Cleaned it, adjusted the trigger down from 4 1/2 pounds to 2 lbs 10 ozs....all with a simple allen key...WITHOUT REMOVING THE STOCK!! What genious thought of that?? Or better yet, why hasn't another maker done this??

This thing has a fully adjustable trigger without removing anything, a wonderfully shaped stock which also has a sort of rubberized feel, 3 position Remington style safety, and a bolt that glides as if on bearings and locks up tight!! The trigger is THE best factory trigger I have ever felt(not counting my Coopers). Breaks crisp with no takeup or over travel.

Fortunately it shoots a whole lot better than it looks. I tried several powders with SST's and Federal Fusion bullets. It seems to really like IMR 4451, which is nice cause I got 2 1/2 pounds the MRC 260 hated!! The target pic is 40 40.5 and 41 grains of 4451 and 140 grain Fusions, not bad!

No point to this other than to show off the ugliest rifle I not only own but have ever seen, and see what yall think of the Sauer 100 rifles.

I have seen worse. I would probably paint over the digital camo as it isn’t my style but it probably works. I hear good things about the Sauers

I'd say it's a work of art...modern art...but very nicely done.

Could be worse in both the looks and accuracy department

Anything that ugly doesn't deserve being fired at such a stunningly beautiful target!

I was gonna give him a free pass on the target

The looks of that rifle don't offend my delicate sensibilities at all. Sounds like a keeper.

Looks fine to me. What really matters is that it handles well, has a good trigger and appears to be accurate. The only other consideration is that it cycles and fires reliably, which I suspect it will.

Don't care for the camo, but the rifle's lines are fine. I can think of some others that are far worse, but I'll refrain from naming them in this tender-hearted assembly.

I dont think that rifle is ugly at all, and it looks like it shoots like a house afire so id call it a keeper if it weren't another damn Creed 😂....Good hunting..Hb

Not that bad looking.

If you want ugly, look at sticks pics. Pink and yellow polka dots, throwing rifles in creeks, etc...
On serious note, The sauer 100 is a solid rifle.

Beauty is
As beauty does

+1 . Ugly? Evidently the OP has not seen the procession of rifles some custom some not that have been posted here, I would be embarrassed to own any of them . That's all I will say.

T/C Compass gets my vote for ugliest. Makes that Sauer look like the goddess of the hunt.

LOL

You want to see ugly rifles? Go to the Mannlicher Stocked rifles thread. The OP's is a thing of beauty comparatively speaking.

I like the shape better than the US economy rifles. Not sure that pattern would disappear many places. Use it at night.

I knew I was gonna catch crap over that target....hint..wink insert illegible gibberish

That hurts, I was about to go post in that thread......I love those rifles that maybe why I like this one!! LOL
I didnt give two hoots for rifles until I found the campfire....you guys are a bad influence!
