Sauer S1PAXT65C 100 Pantera XT Full Size 6.5 Creedmoor 5+1 20" Black Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel, Black Cerakote Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Black Max Synthetic Stock

The Sauer 100 Pantera XT in 6.5 Creedmoor is a precision-oriented mid-range rifle built to deliver consistent accuracy from field to range. This 20-inch threaded barrel model chambers the long-range 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, a modern standard for distance shooting that delivers superior ballistics retention and reduced wind drift compared to traditional hunting rounds. The medium-heavy fluted Cerakote barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, and the threaded muzzle allows for suppressor mounting or muzzle brake installation—critical for noise management and recoil control in tactical or hunting environments.

The receiver features Sauer's proven engineering: drilled and tapped steel construction ready for optic mounting without additional smithing, a 60-degree bolt throw that enables rapid cycling, and three locking lugs with dual extractor pins for reliable extraction under all conditions. The adjustable trigger allows shooters to tune break weight to preference, while the three-position safety provides positive engagement. At 9.8 pounds, the rifle balances shootability with portability—light enough for extended field work, heavy enough to manage 6.5 Creedmoor recoil effectively. The black Max synthetic stock resists weather, requires minimal maintenance, and provides a neutral platform compatible with modern tactical accessories.

This rifle serves precision hunters, long-range competition shooters, and law enforcement marksmen who require repeatable accuracy beyond 500 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor platform has become the intermediate standard between 308 Winchester and magnum rounds—offering lower recoil than larger calibers while maintaining energy and accuracy at extended distances. The 5+1 capacity meets hunting regulations in most jurisdictions and provides adequate firepower for tactical applications. Shooters familiar with modern AR platforms will appreciate the Sauer's bolt-action simplicity, mechanical reliability, and lack of dependence on complex systems, while the threaded barrel and scope-ready receiver integrate seamlessly with current optic and suppressor ecosystems.
