Not really sure where to put this so this seemed to be the best compromise.

I have a Sauer 202 coming in 300 WM. I already have a 7mm RM barrel I bought last year.

I know I have seen 300 Weatherby barrels as well as 375 H&H, 416 RM and 458 Lott.

Were there any other calibers? I am hoping 257 W or 264 WM was an option. If 6.5 and 8x68 were options that would be awesome but what about the smaller rim diameter?

9.3x62 was one, as well as 8m Mauser. On different boltheads they offered 222,223, 22-250.

Beibs.

Much appreciated. I have a couple of Sauer 200’s on a standard 06 bolt face and am only lacking the 22-250, 25-06, 7x57, 7x64 and 8x57. To complete that set. Finding a 223 with the proper bolt would be a dream.

What I am now looking for is I do on the magnum series because there is not much info out there.

I have looked and magazines for any of the magnums are insane piece wise. Lol

Here are the "Caliber change retrofit tables" listed in the Sauer 202 manual. So, the good news is that the 6.5x68 and 8x68S calibers were originally supported. The bad news is that I think you'll need quite a bit of luck to find those barrels! As you know, it's also hard to find the magazines here in the US. A few weeks ago, I found the plastic base on one of my magnum magazines had cracked. Sigh... In any case, good luck with the collecting project!

Thank you that answers all of my questions.


Now my quest can begin.
