IWA OutdoorClassics 2026 – JP Sauer introduces the new Sauer 101 Wolverine bolt-action rifle and a new line of synthetic stocks for the S505 series of rifles
Sauer 101 and 505 bolt-action rifles, the new variants for 2026
For years, the Sauer 101 has been synonymous with precision, safety, and reliability; with its dependable action, extremely robust six-lug locking mechanism, and perfectly tuned direct trigger with a pull weight of around 950 grams, the rifle offers hunters and sport shooters a platform that meets the highest expectations.
Now, new for 2026 and debuting at IWA OutdoorClassics, the Sauer 101 becomes even more versatile: with the new Sauer 101 Wolverine and the addition of the "mini‑calibers" .222 Remington and .223 Remington, Sauer delivers outstanding options for predator hunters and precision shooters.

Sauer S101 Wolverine
Like its namesake, the wolverine, the new iteration of Sauer's iconic S101 bolt-action hunting rifle is powerful and resilient. Its compact overall length ensures exceptional handling and precision, ideal for predator hunting. The ergonomically optimized laminated thumbhole stock with adjustable comb provides optimal control and secure shooting.
The 510 mm heavy barrel guarantees precise accuracy even during extended firing sequences. Durable and robust, the Sauer 101 Wolverine withstands all weather conditions thanks to its DLC‑coated barrel and receiver.

The Sauer S101 Wolverine is available in .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and new for 2026, .222 Remington and .223 Remington – two fast-movers that will also be available on other Sauer 101 variants starting in the second quarter this year.
Opening a new dimension for predator hunters and sport shooters with light and fast cartridges that offer minimal recoil and maximum precision, the new Sauer S101 Wolverine will be ideal for foxes, raccoon dogs, and other predator species, as well as for range use. Combined with the proven technology of the Sauer 101, the result is a system that matches speed, precision, and ergonomics.
New stocks for the Sauer 505 series
The Sauer 505 impresses right from the start with its ergonomic design, which perfectly combines elegance and dynamism. With its iconic thumbhole stock, the rifle will now become an icon for generations to come, in the truest sense of the word. The swift lines, the immaculately polished wood finish, and the harmonious overall appearance make this stock a statement of style and tradition.
But every hunt is different and every terrain has its own character, and as such, even the successful Sauer S505 has to adapt – and in 2026 it does so with a new line of stock colors: brown, olive, and orange, stylish and apt to any hunting situation.
Brown and olive blend harmoniously into nature and provide camouflage for hunting from a blind or stalking. Orange ensures safety and visibility during driven hunts and tracking. Thanks to its modular design, the stock can be changed in a matter of seconds, leaving the Sauer 505 ready for the next adventure. This makes the rifle the ultimate all-rounder, both technically and visually.
All colors are available as ErgoMax or Synchro XT stocks.
