Field Ethos Exception Sauer 100: Classic 9.3×62 on a Modern Action

If you’re a fan of the classic hunting cartridges but love the idea of putting one in a modern high-quality action, the new Field Ethos Exception Sauer 100 chambered in 9.3x62 might be one way to accomplish that. The 9.3x62 cartridge was specifically designed for European Settlers in Africa who needed a more potent hunting cartridge to handle the unique species on the continent. Now you can get that same classic hunting pedigree in a more refined package with the Field Ethos Exception Sauer 100.

Field Ethos Exception Sauer 100: Classic 9.3×62 on a Modern Action

The 9.3×62 cartridge proved its metal more than 100 years ago when European farmers living in Africa needed a rifle capable of killing the animals that wanted to kill them. Cheap 8mm Mausers were converted to accept the 9.3 and everyone made it home for dinner (thanks, Otto Bock).

The Exception was designed with a similar mindset: Wood and steel, kill everything, affordable.

Somehow we ended up with fine wood, sub-MOA groups, and a geometry that makes recoil negligible. If you can’t kill it with this one, drop it and run.
