Tell rifle
Tell rifle
First appeared in 1896, this single-shot breech-loading rifle with underlever lock mechanism. It’s an opening cocking mechanism where the lock is cocked by operating the underlever latch. The Tell rifle was mass-produced until 1936, when it was replaced by the Einheits-Kipplaufbüchse 36. This Tell rifle dates from the 1920s. Recognizable by the slide safety on the butt neck, which replaced the wing safety in the early 1920s. Designed as a light, slim and handy stalking and sporting rifle, the Tell rifle was offered in numerous calibers for rimfire and centerfire cartridges.

A rifle for enthusiasts! The ARTEMIS double barrel shotgun has never been a mass-produced gun, but has always been a masterly, one-of-a-kind piece. With rich english arabesque engravings made by master craftsmen on a silver-grey breech piece, it is truly one of the milestones in Sauer’s history that best expresses what J.P. SAUER & SOHN stands for since 1751: timelessly beautiful and high-quality hunting rifle construction.

Hardly any other combined weapon is as famous as this one. No wonder – after all, it is still the most-sold Drilling in the world and was an integral part of the Sauer portfolio from 1956 until the mid-2000s. In the absolute luxury version LUX DUR ANT, which stands in each case for the special versions Luxus (LUX) in the form of a hunting piece engraving, stock made of selected walnut, white interlayer on the cap and trigger guard made of synthetic horn, as well as for a system housing made of ultra-light duralumin (DUR) and barrels made of Böhler Antinit steel (ANT), the SAUER Drilling 3000 has already made it to a weight record of only 2.7 kilograms.
Sauer 80
Sauer 80
Launched on the market in 1972 and designed since the end of the 1960s as part of an order for the Colt company, which wanted to present its American customers a bolt-action rifle with a particularly smooth bolt action, the SAUER 80 with its bolt action set a standard against which new bolt-action rifles must be measured on the entire world market to this day. The successor model, the SAUER 90, ultimately made it immortal.
