Handled the new Sauer XTC carbon shaft rifle at the Dortmund show in Germany last week.

Basically a total take down structure with a special key housed in the forend.

Interchangeable caliber by swapping out bolt head and barrel. Various trigger weights / pulls from 550, 750, 1000 to 1250 grams. Adjustable stock comb and even a heated pistol grip - yes a heated grip!

Carbon stock.

Without a scope / mounts it comes in at just over 2.8 kgs.

Not a cheap rifle at some EUR 6.000/- plus ( Usd 7.250/- plus minus)

State of the art or modern gimmicks ?

Was it on show at SCI ? What was the opinion in the US ?

Maybe it has a place as a light weight, pack, mountain rifle ?

Cheers

Charlie
