[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1797427, member: 879"] 74sharps, The length of pull is 13.5". And the forestock is only slightly thicker than my Winchester Featherweight which has a schnabel forend too. But it is only thicker because the barrel is a heavier contour than the Featherweight. So it is still pretty slim. I like slender forends; but I use these rifles for hunting--not for benchrest competition. Both of these rifles are for hunting under 600, or for me, under 500 yards. So these are medium range hunting rifles and both relatively light. 'Not mountain rifle' light but light enough to carry without being burdensome. The Sauer 100 wouldn't be the rifle to start with for long range. But Sauer does make a couple of heavier barreled versions of the 100 that would extend that range--the Pantera and the Fieldshoot. Both make my mouth water when I see their pics. But they are more expensive than the Classic. And heavier; not really for long carry. The bolt is made to fit the receiver to very tight tolerances, but once you break it in, it is very smooth. It is a 60* turn. [/QUOTE]
