    Default This has my attention

    Saw an article about it last month and it looked good. I wish I'd looked at it at the SHOT Show.

    This, in 6.5 Creedmore, may be my next and last sporting/deer rifle. I like the features, I like that it has an option for a threaded barrel (for suppressors). I bet it's slick as snot. I will try to find one locally to peruse.

    I'd likely sell my Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather (308) to make this happen. I have enough 308's.

    I have a few 200 and 202 and would put them up against most custom rifles in fit finish and accuracy

    I looked at those and they are gorgeous. The price point and this chambering in the Model 100 are catching my eye. $699......

    I wouldn't hesitate in buying a 100 series. I bet it offers more for $700 than most at $1,200

    You talking about the guns or the "passion" app.

    I used to have a Sauer 202(?) in .243 and it was a beautiful rifle and the action was 'slick as snot'. But it was fairly heavy and the reason I ended up selling it and keeping my Tikka 594 Hunter in the same caliber.

    This 100 series looks to be lighter weight and ought to make a dent in the competition. Nice choice!

    Yeah, quick math has it at about 6.7 pounds. If you get a threaded model, the threads are metric (15x1), but Thunderbeast makes a brake in that threading so I can use my Ultra 7. I'd have to decide between wood or synthetic...

    This would be topped with the Trijicon AccuPoint 2.5-10x56mm when I get it.

    I've fondled a few of them. Nice rifle for the money.

    I'd have to go with wood for a pretty gun like that. I love a Schnabel forend on a hunting rifle.

    Do any American suppressor makers have cans or adapters with metric threads? I suppose there are plenty offerings in Europe. I'd hate to have to leave a muzzle brake on that gun just for the aesthetics, plus I really hate shooting with a brake.
