Description
The Sauer 100 Silver XT 7mm-08 Rem, 22″ Barrel, Black Fixed Ergo Max Stock, 5rd is a modern, no-fuss hunting rifle built for precision and comfort. It’s a bolt-action centerfire rifle that combines Sauer’s German engineering with a purpose-built ergonomic stock, chambered in the versatile 7mm-08 Remington cartridge. I’ve put a few boxes through this configuration, and it’s a solid, reliable performer that fits out of the box for most shooters.
Key Features
- 7mm-08 Remington Chambering: A flat-shooting, manageable-recoil cartridge ideal for deer and similar-sized game across Missouri’s varied terrain.
- Ergo Max Stock: The fixed, black synthetic stock features an adjustable comb and length of pull spacers for a custom fit without a custom price.
- 22″ Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: Sauer’s barrel process ensures consistent accuracy and long life. The 22-inch length is a sweet spot for handling and velocity.
- 3-Lug Bolt & Adjustable Trigger: The 60-degree bolt throw is fast for follow-ups, and the two-stage trigger is crisp and adjustable from 2.2 to 4.4 pounds.

Let’s talk about that weight—at around 6.8 pounds unscoped, it’s light enough to carry all day in the Ozark backcountry but has enough heft to steady your shot. The action is smooth from the factory, and the integral dovetail rail means mounting a scope from brands like Leupold or Vortex is straightforward. Here’s the thing—for the price of $821.93, you’re getting a feature set typically found on rifles costing several hundred dollars more. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your local FFL transfer.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Sauer 100 is for the hunter who values a precise, reliable tool over flashy looks. It’s perfect for Missouri whitetail hunters, those pursuing antelope out west, or anyone who wants a single, do-it-all rifle for medium game. If you’re tired of ill-fitting stocks and mediocre factory triggers, the Ergo Max and adjustable trigger solve those problems immediately. It’s also a great choice for a younger or newer shooter stepping up to a centerfire, thanks to the 7mm-08’s mild manners and the stock’s adjustability.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The adjustable Ergo Max stock is a genuine game-fit improvement. The 7mm-08 Remington is a fantastically balanced cartridge with excellent bullet selection. The action is robust and the trigger is excellent for a factory offering. The overall package represents strong value for a European-made rifle.
Cons: The stock, while functional, is purely synthetic—don’t expect fancy walnut. The 5-round capacity is standard but some may prefer more. The finish is utilitarian; this is a working rifle, not a showpiece.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 7mm-08 Remington a good caliber for deer hunting in Missouri?
A: Absolutely. It’s arguably one of the best. It has more than enough energy for ethical deer harvests at typical Missouri ranges, produces less recoil than a .308 Winchester, and offers very flat trajectory. It’s a cartridge that makes shooting accurately easier.
Q: Can the length of pull and comb height be adjusted by the user?
A: Yes. The Ergo Max stock includes spacers to adjust the length of pull and a tool-less adjustable comb. You can dial in the fit for your body and optic setup in minutes, no gunsmithing required.
Q: What type of scope base does this rifle use?
A: The Sauer 100 action has an integrated 19mm dovetail rail (often called a Sauer-to-Weaver). You’ll need corresponding rings, like those from Warne or other manufacturers that offer a Sauer dovetail option. It’s a secure, clean system that eliminates the need to screw a separate base onto the receiver.
After running this rifle, I keep coming back to its straightforward competence. It doesn’t try to be everything, but what it does—providing a fitted, accurate, and reliable hunting platform—it does very well. If that’s what you’re after, this Sauer 100 Silver XT configuration deserves a close look. You can find it available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
