Had the opportunity to buy a Dakota Hyme action in 25-06 in the early 2000s for $850.00, friend who ran a gun store was closing. I passed on it. My stupidity knows no bounds.

I just came home from the range. I had almost forgotten how much I love shooting my Sauer 100 30-06. Hitting the 2" orange dot at 200 was just plumb easy...and I had 4 cups of coffee this morning!
One of the recent posters to this thread mentioned that the trigger is always a major consideration in any new rifle purchase. The Sauer adjustable trigger is as good or better than any trigger I have ever felt on a hunting rifle and that includes aftermarket triggers. The range of adjustment is much lighter than what Sauer claims.
I don't want a 6 ounce trigger on any of my hunting rifles. 1.5 lbs is light enough and I can shoot well with that. I want a light, clean breaking trigger with no creep and no overtravel. Sauer provides that out of the box.
Anyway, she is ready to slay some more deer...soon, very soon.
