Description
Sauer has a reputation for putting more rifle into the box than the spec sheet suggests, and this Sports South exclusive version of the 100 Pantera XT is a good example. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it wears a 20 inch medium-heavy fluted barrel with a durable black Cerakote finish and 5/8-24 muzzle threads, so hanging a suppressor or brake takes minutes instead of a trip to the gunsmith. The shorter barrel keeps the rifle balanced and easy to maneuver, and the Creedmoor cartridge does not give up much velocity to get there.
What Sets This Pantera XT Apart
The big story here is the stock. Instead of the standard synthetic furniture, this model gets an H-S Precision competition stock built with Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon over a 7075 aluminum bedding block, finished in an eye-catching webbed pattern. Combine that with Sauer's Everest Bedding Block System and you get a barreled action that sits in the same place shot after shot, which is exactly what you want when you are chasing small groups. Sauer backs it up with a five-shot sub-MOA guarantee, and reviewers running the Pantera in 6.5 Creedmoor have reported consistent three-quarter MOA groups with quality factory ammo.
Sauer 100 Pantera XT Controls and Handling
The action runs on three locking lugs with a short 60 degree bolt throw, so you can cycle fast without smacking your knuckles on a scope. An oversized bolt knob gives you plenty to grab from awkward positions, and dual extractor pins with a lock ring keep ejection positive. The single-stage trigger adjusts from about 2.25 to 4.25 pounds, the three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt with the safety engaged, and a double-row detachable magazine feeds 5+1 rounds smoothly. Whether you are ringing steel at distance, shooting local matches, or filling tags in the fall, this is a lot of rifle for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sauer 100 Pantera XT accurate enough for competition or long-range shooting?
Yes. Sauer backs the rifle with a five-shot sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and independent testing of the Pantera in 6.5 Creedmoor has produced consistent groups in the three-quarter MOA range with good factory ammunition. The Everest bedding block and H-S Precision stock give it the repeatability you want for match work or extended range sessions.
Can I mount a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
You sure can. The 20 inch medium-heavy barrel comes threaded 5/8-24, which is the standard thread pitch for most 6.5 Creedmoor and .30 caliber suppressors and brakes, so most muzzle devices will spin right on.
What makes this Sauer 100 Pantera XT different from the standard Pantera XT?
This is a Sports South exclusive configuration, and the biggest upgrade is the American-made H-S Precision stock. It is built from Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon around a 7075 aluminum bedding block, giving you a stiffer, more consistent platform than the standard synthetic stock, plus a distinctive webbed finish.
How adjustable is the trigger on the Sauer 100 Pantera XT?
The single-stage trigger adjusts from roughly 2.25 to 4.25 pounds, so you can set it light and crisp for precision work or a bit heavier for field use. Combined with the three-position safety that lets you unload with the safety on, it is a well thought out control setup.
