Atelier 1751

One-of-a-kind masterpieces

You probably cannot improve a bolt action rifle by J.P. SAUER & SOHN technically but every rifle can become a personality. According to this claim the Atelier 1751 by J.P. SAUER & SOHN knows almost no boundaries to fantasy and design when it comes to your individually manufactured rifle.

SAUER 404
Moonlight Sonata

Ornamentation and motifs merge in this SAUER 404 becoming a true work of art for the 270th anniversary: The action has a silhouette of a red deer in the moonlight, the trigger guard has fine gold red deer tracks worked onto it and there is a finely engraved por-trait of a red deer on the base of the magazine. The action, trigger guard and bolt knob are also further enhanced with impressive tree ring ornamentation. The gold-plated trigger blade and the jewelled bolt as well as the fine class 8 wood stock round off this SAUER 404 in perfect style.

SAUER 101 Anniversary Stutzen
The lightness of being

Elegant, traditional, durable – symbolic oak leaves adorn the whole receiver and frame the roebuck head on the base of the magazine of the Sauer Anniversary Stutzen. The buck is gilded, as are the tracks, chamber and trigger blade. The model designation also shines out in gold as an eye-catcher for this easy to handle bolt-action rifle with its continuous stock made of the finest grade 8 wood. An anniversary rifle for many generations – created by master-engraver Dieter Stübler.

SAUER 404
The King and the Stripes

Lion-family hunts and kill a Zebra. Due the male lion is roaring and waiting for lunch the cat herself kills the Zebra and the lion baby is waiting in the trees to get its part of the prey. The Motive is drawn through by Zebra-Stripes and camelthorn-branches in bolino style.

SAUER 404
European Heritage

All iconic European game species engraved on the rifle with Renaissance leafs and gold strands. Main motive shows a roaring red stag together with a hind. The magazine floor plate and the pistol grip cap show portraits of a Tusker and a Roe buck.

SAUER 404
Man vs. Beast

The main engraving shows the epic battle between Man and beast in front of the prehistoric landscape made of gold. The prehistoric cave bear (ursus spelaeus) was known as the king of predators and the epitome of ”the beast”. The right part of the main motive shows the rock that bears the bear in his cave, surrounded by ivy leafs. A 40.000 year old tusk of a cave bear is used as bolt knob and forend and Pistol grip plate shows each a nearly 40 Million year old amber including prehistoric insects. That’s the homage to the History of evolution and the epic battle of Life between man and beast.
