As I told the op, that is how it is designed. Nothing weird about it. It assures you positive extraction, similar in the way a controlled action would.

If you are running the bolt properly that won't be an issue and you also will not short stroke it and get jammed.

There's a lot about this thread that doesn't add up.

Sold my Tikka T3 to buy my 2nd Sauer 100. Don't miss the Tikka--not even a little bit--the Sauer is at least 3 times better than the Tikka. And not just in accuracy but in every respect. The stock ergos, the trigger, the wood, all better.
Went from shooting frustrating groups at 100 to shooting true one hole groups at 200.
Here's the best one at 200 yards.

I ordered a Sauer 100 in 7MM Remington magnum a few years ago, it was completely missing the extractor. I returned it and am done with them, if they can't make sure all the parts are in the receiver before they ship the rifle I have no use for it. I can't believe that a manufacturer would ship a rifle without at least test firing it but Sauer isn't the only one doing this, I bought a Christensen Ridgeline 6.5 PRC that wouldn't extract a fired round due to a burr in the chamber, obviously never test fired, let alone proof tested!

I understand your frustration nimrod, but all manufacturers make mistakes. I tend to judge them by how they address those mistakes. If customer service is good and the quickly fix any problem under warranty at no cost to me, I am generally happy.

I'm sure Sauer would have made it right but I would have had to return it on my dime (probably) and it's something that should have been caught, no question. It's like taking a drink of sour milk, I spit it out and pour the rest down the drain. I spend good money on something I expect it to work as advertised, instead, I wasted a few hours of my time and drove in the neighborhood of 140 miles (2x70 mile round trips) for something that didn't work. My standard is excellence, I'll accept nothing less.

OP here. Off work today. Stopped by and read a few more posts.
To those who said I "should have done......." you are blessed that you "know how." Seriously...good on you. Wish I did but I don't.
At the bench feeding - bolt moved forward and stopped dead. Gave it some encouragement. No go. Maybe you could have closed it. Bring a hammer. Not being sarcastic. Something was wrong with this rifle. Brass length was measured before loading. Fine.
After multiple attempts to hit the 50 yard target, finally got a hole. Scope adjusted. More rounds - no more holes @ 50.
After more work, hugely disappointed, gave up.
For the record - I really, really wanted this rifle to work. Wish it had. Loved the Kuiu stock. Quite honestly, with my job and and all the rest of it daily, I just don't have the time deal with a rifle that should have worked - just like yours does. Wish mine had.
The scope is now on the replacement rifle and working perfectly.
Have a good day ya'll.
Cheers.
