Sporting Shooter

Storm chaser

THIS Sauer can hardly be classed as an entry-level rifle but its utility lies not only in its no-nonsense approach to being an all-weather rifle, but the attractively contrasting combination of stainless metalwork and soft-touch black polymer stock. The metal requires less attention during a foul-weather hunt and the stock will never shift or move due to absorbing moisture. You can tell at a glance that this stainless steel/synthetic rifle can handle anything that extreme climatic conditions can dish out, without missing a beat.

“The grip, being sharply curved, is very comfortable to grasp.”

The Ergo Max stock is classically styled, an injected glass-reinforced, moulded unit. There are no visible mould lines and the overall surface is smooth with a soft-touch finish. There is a black rubber recoil pad and instead of chequering there are panels of impressed stippling on forend and grip. They afford a secure grasp and are more friendly to the hand than a sharp diamond pattern.

A disc bearing the Sauer logo is inset into the bottom of the pistol grip.
