First Look: Sauer 101 Highland XTC Carbon-Fiber Rifle
P. Sauer & Sohn is Germany’s oldest manufacturer of hunting firearms and now they are introducing the ultralight S101 Highland XTC carbon-fiber rifle. Weighing just 5.4 lbs. in the .308 Win. version, this highly accurate bolt-action rifle is ideal for strenuous hunts and long-range shooting when every ounce counts.
The S101 rifle features a hand-laid, carbon-fiber stock that has advanced recoil absorbing properties. The barrel is fluted and threaded for additional weight reduction and cold-hammer forged for guaranteed precision of less than one MOA at 100 yards. The barrel and receiver also feature Sauer’s Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) surface for maximum corrosion protection.
“The DLC layer is 40 times thinner than a human hair while offering key advantages such as superior surface hardness and maximum rust protection and wear resistance,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “Many advances were made in the production of the Highland XTC, and it now holds the record as Sauer’s lightest rifle ever.”
