I haven't read much about the Sauer 303 semi-auto.


Is it reliable? Is it imported into the US? Can you remove the bolt and gas system to clean it?

I am new to the 202 series and have never heard of the 303, and I am not a fan of semi auto rifles anyway. On the other hand, if the 303 is anywhere close to the 202 in fit, finish, and accuracy, I sure might be inclined to give one a try.

if you are looking for a reliable and accurate semi-auto, Molot Vepr might be the thing.

if they had made it 1lb lighter, i sure would had one.

Is this the 303brit ?

No it is not a 303 caliber, The Sauer 303 has 4 different calibers to choose from one being a 30.06. Looks like a great gun for fast shooting, would like to hear any reviews on it? But it must be pricey I would think about 3000$.

I cross-posted this in the Ero Hunting forum, and Steffen-9.3 answered with a translation from a Norwegian forum. Apparently, this Sauer 303 is still in somethng like pre-production status and working out the kinks.

Once they're set, its 9.3x62 looks very appealing.

it will probably be more like 2000$
over here it costs 30-35% more than a standard 202 classic

IF Sauer makes it, it will HAVE to be a good rifle!

In the current Australian magazine Guns and Game there is an advertisement for the Aimpoint sight. In the picture the sight is sitting atop what I take to be is a Saur 303. If I'm right then at least one 303 has been released into the wild.
Happy new year.
