Description
Sauer took their proven 100 series action and dropped it into a real HS Precision stock, the same American-made composite stocks trusted by precision builders for decades. The result is a 6.5 PRC rifle that gives you German cold hammer-forged barrel quality sitting in a stock with a full-length aluminum bedding block, so the action stays put and your zero stays where you left it. The gray Cerakote over stainless metalwork shrugs off weather, and the gray stock with black webbing looks as good in a truck rack as it does on a bench.
Why the 100 HS Pantera Earns Its Keep at Distance
The 6.5 PRC chambering is the whole point here. It pushes high-BC 6.5mm bullets faster and flatter than the Creedmoor, which makes it a favorite for open-country hunting and steel past 500 yards. The 22 inch fluted barrel runs a 1:8 twist to stabilize the heavy match and hunting bullets this cartridge was built around, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 so adding a brake or suppressor takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. Feeding comes from a detachable double-stack magazine holding four rounds, with one more in the chamber.
Sauer 100 HS Pantera Handling and Controls
The famously slick Sauer bolt runs on three locking lugs with a short, positive throw, and the single-stage trigger adjusts down to a crisp pull in the low two-pound range for deliberate shots. A three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt on safe to unload without coming off the tang, which is a small detail you appreciate quickly in the field. The receiver comes drilled and tapped and accepts Remington 700 long action bases, so scope mounting options are everywhere. At around six and a half pounds bare, it carries lighter than most rifles with this kind of reach, making it one of the more practical crossover options for anyone who wants one rifle that handles both elk season and a weekend on the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scope bases fit the Sauer 100 HS Pantera?
The receiver is drilled and tapped and accepts Remington 700 long action style bases, which is one of the most common mounting patterns out there. That means you have a huge selection of one-piece rails and two-piece bases to choose from. No sights come installed, so plan on a scope from day one.
Can I run a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
Yes. The muzzle comes threaded in the standard 5/8×24 pattern, which covers the vast majority of 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and brakes. A thread protector keeps things tidy when you are running the bare muzzle.
How accurate is the Sauer 100 HS Pantera?
Sauer backs the 100 series with a five-shot sub-MOA guarantee, and the cold hammer-forged barrel plus the HS Precision stock's full-length aluminum bedding block give it the foundation to deliver on that. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy 140 to 147 grain bullets that make the 6.5 PRC shine at distance. With quality ammo and good glass, this rifle will outshoot most of us.
Is 6.5 PRC a good hunting cartridge compared to 6.5 Creedmoor?
The 6.5 PRC is essentially a magnum-class step up from the Creedmoor, running the same high-BC bullets a couple hundred feet per second faster. That extra speed flattens trajectory and carries more energy downrange, which matters for elk, mule deer, and other game at longer distances. Recoil is still very manageable in a rifle like this.
