The Sauer 202 is a lightweight bolt-action rifle that was manufactured by the renowned German company Sauer & Sohn from 1993 to 2015. In the United States, this rifle was marketed under the SIG Arms label and also enjoyed considerable popularity there. The Sauer 202 is characterized by its modular design, which allows for easy exchange of components and thus also simple caliber changes. A standout feature is the modular barrel change system, which allows for easy caliber switching.
The standard receiver of the Sauer 202 is made of robust steel. However, there is also a lighter variant made of aluminum, which weighs a full 470 grams less.
A special feature that is widely appreciated by many hunters is the innovative safety mechanism of the Sauer 202, which acts on the firing pin. The safety release button is located just in front of the trigger, allowing the shooter to easily push it up with their trigger finger before shooting. The safety button, on the other hand, is located above the grip on the stock neck and is pushed up when disengaging, revealing a clearly visible red indicator. To secure the weapon, the hunter simply presses the safety button down with their thumb – an extremely intuitive safety method for many.
The Sauer 202 is equipped with a recoil pad that allows for extremely precise shots, contributing to its reputation in this regard.
Its successor is the Sauer 404.
