Nice setup! I think that 6,5x55SE is still great cartridge for prs and long range shooting and I will get one for myself too.

Thanks! Yes, you’re right. At the end of the day the 6.5x55 is still a medium capacity 6.5, just without much hype.

regarding the stock, there is an option available from Sweden as well- the Phoenix Chassis by LRD Sweden. I think it’s about the same price as the vision, for anyone interested. 😊

Thanks! I'll check that one out. So far I like the Vision stock.

@@RedKettleEfficientHuntingfor sure the vision is a quality chassis. My comment was mostly “fyi” to anyone searching youtube for informative videos on fitting the STR 200 for PRS - there isn’t all that much material out there, which is a shame because at least here in scandinavia it is very hard to beat if you are looking to get the most “bang for your buck” 😃 Good video btw 😊👍

What magazine options do you have for the Sauer STR? If you have well priced factory ammo available then 6.5x55 will be excellent choice. If you want a good tripod without spending too much money I'd recommend a Leofoto with their MA30 head (copy of the RRS anvil), definitely better than a levelling head or a ball head. The Leofotos are much nice that some of the cheaper tripods out there. The MDT Ckyepod is pretty much the standard bipod for PRS these days, the double pull ones are nice but really expensive. Tier one from the UK do their ATAC bipod which is very similar but a bit cheaper.

Thanks for the bipod and tripod input. Much appreciated. I ended up with an MDT single pull ckye. It was still pretty expensive even though it was the single. But I like the versatility and build quality. Fantastic, thanks for flagging the Lefoto. It looks like a great piece of kit and more reasonably priced than what I’ve seen so far. So far I have two 5-round magazines, which isn’t ideal. But, I can reconsider my options the day a mag change costs me a first place in a competition. Which isn’t anytime soon :-) The rifle likes Norma Golden Target and I can get them at a reasonable price. The MV SD isn’t great, but good enough for practice. The rifle loves factory loaded Lapua scenars. Very accurate and low MV SD. I’ll post a test soon.

Where in the U.S. can you buy a Sauer 200 STR? I have been looking, but only see them selling in Europe.

When Sig USA got 'offside" with Angela Merkel due to German parts ending up on SIG-Sauer guns sold to central American countries she stopped allowing SIG Germany to export some things to USA. I am oversimplifying it I am sure, but SAUER cannot sell this rifle in states as it has SIG branding. So they aren't sold here - if they ever are I will get one. Maybe someone can explain better. I have an SSG 3000 which is almost the same plus an old 200 hunting rifle and love them.

@@mmal7982thanks for the summary. What a shame not have easy access to one of these. I’ve read the Norwegians picked a variant of this rifle for their standard target rifle because of its combination of good quality and reasonable price. Hopefully one day these will be available this side of the pond.
