The S 101 fits seamlessly into the family tree of non-modular hunting rifles from the Sauer 80 and Sauer 90 ancestors. Their smooth bolt action and elegant, timeless design demonstrate what has distinguished a true Sauer rifle for over 270 years: beautiful hunting rifles that can do a lot more than just look good. It is the only hunting rifle on the market with a firing pin safety system that is indisputably the most effective of all safety systems. The slide lock is in the perfect ergonomic position on the bolt safety shroud, so hunters can operate is easily and completely silently with the rifle mounted.
Another detail that makes the S 101 a reliable hunting companion is the internal firing pin lock. It ensures that the rifle can be fired only when it is one hundred per cent locked. The button behind the bolt handle additionally makes it possible to open the chamber while the safety is on.
