My thoughts exactly. The exposed steel running across the receiver is the distinctive look of a Sauer 202. Oh course, this is a promotional picture, so it has screamer wood and mirror blue. I'll reserve my thought until I can see/handle a production rifle.

Definitely an interesting rifle. Mostly follows the 202 lines, with some nifty ideas in taking it down, no tools needed - great idea. Wondering what the price is going to be? The R8/R93 offer the scope on barrel feature that comes in handy by not having to site it in every time you swap barrels. I like the built in bases that Sauer did away with in preference to another pricy scope mounting system.

Nice to see development and innovation in rifles. we used to do that too, a long time ago, in the USA, or so I was told. Peter.

Supposed to be less than the Blaser R8. Nobody that I know has been able to get an exact price though and I'm sure some of that pertains to what country you're in. It'll be a chunk, that much you can count on..
