FAQ / Frequently asked questions
Q: What hunting rifles are being voluntarily recalled?
A: Certain hunting rifles of the SAUER 100 series in caliber 6.5×55 SE. You can check whether your rifle is affected by this entering your serial number in the input field above.
Q: Why are you recalling these rifles?
A: J.P. SAUER & SOHN is voluntarily instigating a recall to ensure the safety of its customers. During quality checks, J.P. SAUER & SOHN has identified a potential safety issue with certain SAUER 100 hunting rifles in caliber 6.5×55 SE. It was found that a specific batch of barrels does not meet our high quality standards. As a result, a high amount of shots can lead to premature weakening/fatigue of the barrel material. In the worst case, this can lead to severe damage to the rifle. Injury to the shooter also cannot be eliminated.
Q: Are other Sauer models or calibers also affected?
A: No. We would like to explicitly emphasize that other calibers of the SAUER 100 bolt action rifle as well as all other Sauer hunting rifles are absolutely safe and are not affected by this quality assurance measure.
