Distance: 50 meters
Ammunition: the cheapest I could find
There are some sighting errors, because the "dot" was hard to see after a few shots

Very cool. Nice pix.

Where are you located?

What is the centerfire chambering and what model of 202 is that.

Looks like a wide front with flat bottom of the fore-arm.

Does the 22LR system use a different barrel?

How is the 22LR barrel attached?

What did the system cost?

Thanks for posting! :thumb:

Nice scope! We don't seem many Zeiss Victories in the USA.

Tooms, beautiful rifle and a very well done conversion - obviously very accurate. But, best of all, it's left-handed!!!

Looks like a Sauer 202 Varmint, the barrels are quick change system. You are lucky Tooms, having a left handed one, and with the 22lr conversion, oh my! Denmark must be nice!


p.s.
I like the AEG washer and dryer

I'm located in Denmark

The rifle is born as a Sauer 202 Advantgarde Gold cal. 308

I have added:

a cal. 6.5x55 match barrel

a vide flatbottom match forarm with rail for handstop and the Harris

The cal. 22 system comes with a barrel, a bolt, a magasinwell and a magasin

The barrel is attached by three screws and the magasinwell is attached by one screw into the barrel.

The cal. 22 lr system alone is a 1000 $ alone, the scope is 3000 $ so Denmark is an expensive country :-,

I have the narrow and more beautifull forarm, it matches the wood of the buttstock much better. The shorter and thinner .308 barrel only goes on, when I go hunting in terrain, that requires a lot of walking..

Today I fired it at 100 meters. It was done a bit to fast, and I think I can see the cheap ammunition creating some flyers, that I wont take credit for. But as you can see my setup could be more steady. And offcourse I've made some mistakes. I will try again one day with more time AND try to bench it.

Thank you all for the nice words

Tooms,

Thanks for the extra pix.

I think this rifle would be a good candidate for a Gun of the Week. you have three calibers .308, 6.5x55, and 22LR and various stock configurations to talk about . Very handsome wood on that buttstock!

Yesterday I tested the rifle with some Lapua Master L ammunition. It was a day with HEAVY vinds, but it came towards me. The distance is 50 meters and the coin is 0,7 inches. The first two pictures are 5 shot groups at 50 meters, and the last is a 15 shot group at 50 meters. On tuesday in calm weather, I'll test it at 100 meters.

This is all well and good, but how in the world do we find such a conversion in the USA???

 

[DukeDuke]

Walmart?

First of all, sorry for not visiting this site for a while now.

Well I don't know anything about how to find this system in the US. It is a kit designed for a specific Sauer competition rifle designed for the Danish shooting confederation. This meaning a rifle that a danish kid can by at a discount. It can then only be used in competition and not hunting. It is a training kit for indoor 15 m and outdoor 50 m shooting. Try to contacte Sauer Germany would be my guess.

Tooms,

Thanks for taking the time to post all this info on the Sauer 202 22LR conversion kit.

I have contacted Lee LeBas at Blaser USA to inquire about obtaining one here in the US. Blaser USA is now the Sauer rifle/shotgun distributor in the US.

Lee said that he would talk to Sauer about it this year. If and when I get any additional information, I will post it here in this thread and the thread below.
