Sauer sets a new standard for semiautomatic hunting rifles with the S303 Select. Combining both elegance and utility, the S303 Select allows the user to make fast follow-up shots on par with a double rifle with reduced recoil and muzzle rise, making the S303 Select an outstanding choice for driven hunts. The heart of the S303 Select is a gas operated semiautomatic action optimized for reliability and a long service life. The action’s steel construction gives the rifle a desired top-heaviness, which in turn provides the necessary swing and handling characteristics for tracking moving game. The S303 is made ready by Sauer’s exclusive Hand Cocking System. It utilizes a perfectly positioned cocking slide on the bolt shroud, which cocks the rifle when pushed forward and un-cocks the rifle when slid back. Both cocking and un-cocking the rifle can be done completely silently to avoid spooking potential game, and the rifle can be unloaded in the un-cocked position for an added level of safety.
To ensure superior accuracy, the S303 Select is outfitted with Sauer’s Black Magic Trigger – an innovative design that provides adequate resistance for driven hunts, and breaks like glass for long-range precision. Accuracy is further enhanced thanks to the proven design of the Sauer Universal Mount (SUM) which promotes proper alignment between the shooter’s eye and a mounted optic. Other features of the S303 Select include a high-grade walnut stock with a glossy finish, and a hard chrome plated barrel for superior corrosion resistance.
