Sauer 100 Keeper
The Sauer 100 Keeper is mission-specific, being only chambered in 223 Rem, for its role as a vermin and small deer rifle. It comes bundled with a Minox ZX5 3-15x56 scope, HEXALOCK QD mounts and a reflex moderator. There’s a 3-position safety, rear/right of the action and the trigger is adjustable from 2.2- to 4.2lbs. Capacity is four in a detachable magazine. The stock is synthetic and comfortable to use and the 20-inch, light/medium barrel is fluted, and threaded 15x1mm. In use, the Keeper shot very well and as a package is impressive!
Bergara B13 Take-Down
Bergara’s B13 single shot rifle is well worth a look! This break-barrel action is available in a number of calibres and 16- and 20-inch lengths, here is the synthetic, thumbhole stocked Take-Down. There’s no safety; instead, a rebound external hammer, the gun is opened by squeezing in on the hinged trigger guard. The action is extract-only, so cases must be pulled free by fingers. A Picatinny rail is fitted as standard and rifles come threaded. The thumbhole stock is comfortable and offers good head support, plus offers a quick-change barrel. Light, handy, simple and accurate, it might appeal!
Remington 783 Scoped
Remington wrote the book on budget rifles, with their Model 710. Their new 783 has a strong, black synthetic stock and precision button-rifled barrel. For shot control, it's equipped with an adjustable, Crossfire™ trigger system. Feed is from a 4-round, steel detachable box magazine, it comes with pre-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40 mm scope, all for just over £500. It might be cheap but it’s a shooter and ready to go from the box. Calibres: 22/250 Rem, .223 Rem, .243 Win, .270 Win, .308 Win, 30/06 Sprig, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag
Savage Lightweight Hunter
The Trophy Hunter is a compact (16-inch barrelled) rifle, built to be small and light. The metal is all-stainless and the muzzle threaded ½ x 20-inch UNF. The black synthetic stock with thick, rubber recoil pad floats the barrel and an AccuTrigger is fitted as standard. Feed is from a 4-round detachable magazine and the safety is a tang-type. The bolt is spiral fluted, again to save weight and the rifle comes with a set of Weaver bases. Not the prettiest of guns, but it shoots and if you want compact and light, this is it!
