The Sauer 100 Pantera Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor 20 in. Black Synthetic RH is a factory-built precision platform that delivers sub-MOA consistency straight out of the box. With a compact 20-inch fluted heavy barrel, adjustable cheek piece, and an ergonomic palm-swell grip, this rifle is engineered for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy at distance without the weight of a full custom build.

Key Features
- 20-Inch Fluted Heavy Barrel — Shorter length reduces overall rifle weight while the fluting dissipates heat faster, maintaining shot-to-shot consistency over extended strings.
- Adjustable Cheek Piece & Recoil Pad — Both cheek piece height and recoil pad position (sideways and vertical) are tool-free adjustable, letting you achieve perfect eye-to-scope alignment and recoil management.
- Sculpted Palm Swell Grip — The pistol grip’s ergonomic palm swell forces a natural, repeatable hand position, which translates directly into more consistent trigger pulls and tighter groups.
- Compact 20-Inch Barrel — The shorter barrel makes the rifle handier in tight spaces (think blind hunting or truck gun) while still delivering 6.5 Creedmoor’s full ballistic potential out to 1,000 yards.
- Sauer Precision Action — The bolt-on barrel, controlled-round feed, and three-lug bolt ensure smooth cycling and reliable extraction, even with heavy match loads.
Who It’s For
The Sauer 100 Pantera is built for the long-range shooter who wants a production rifle that doesn’t need a gunsmith to shoot sub-MOA. It’s ideal for PRS/NRL entry-level competitors, precision hunters who hike miles between positions, and shooters upgrading from a budget bolt gun who want German engineering without the custom price tag.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box — verified by multiple independent testers at 100 yards.
- Pro: Fully adjustable stock (cheek piece + recoil pad) means it fits shooters from 5’3” to 6’4”.
- Pro: 20-inch barrel balances perfectly for offhand and positional shooting.
- Con: The factory trigger is good but not match-grade — most serious shooters will swap it for a Timney or Geissele unit to get a crisp 1-lb break.
