EAW Steel Picatinny rail, Sauer 200 Long

About Picatinny Rail

The Picatinny rail system is engineered with slots spaced precisely 5.23 mm apart, ensuring consistent and versatile usage along its entire length. This design allows for easy mounting and universal compatibility, meaning accessories designed for a Picatinny rail will fit perfectly, regardless of the manufacturer or production date. Valued for its affordability, durability, and reliability, the Picatinny rail has become a preferred choice among professionals and military personnel, dominating the scope mounts market in recent years.

The Picatinny design represents a significant improvement over the older Weaver standard. While the Weaver system has only a few predetermined slots, the Picatinny rail features continuous slots across its surface, offering greater flexibility for mounting devices at any location. Additionally, the slots on a Weaver rail are narrower, at 3.8 mm, which means scope mounts designed for Weaver rails can fit on a Picatinny rail. However, mounts specifically made for Picatinny rails do not fit on Weaver rails due to the size difference of recoil stoppers. This compatibility and versatility position the Picatinny rail as a superior mounting solution for various applications.

About the Sauer

J.P. Sauer & Sohn, established in 1751 in Suhl, Germany, is the oldest firearms manufacturer in Germany. Originally focused on military contracts, the company adapted to civilian markets in the late 19th century, introducing innovative hunting rifles. Post-WWI, it diversified, even producing typewriters, to survive economic hardships. After WWII, under Soviet occupation, it was stripped of its original name but was later restored, and in 1951, re-established in West Germany as a dedicated hunting rifles producer.

About the 200 Lang

The Sauer 200 Lang is a bolt-action rifle with a two-piece stock, produced from 1984 to 1993. It features a steel or aluminum alloy receiver that is 6 cm longer than the Kurz variant, making it suitable for larger calibers. The receiver houses a push-feed bolt with six locking lugs, known for its smooth operation, which lock directly into the barrel. This rifle is notable for its modular design, allowing for easy barrel changes and caliber conversions. Barrel lengths are available in 510 mm (20 inches), 560 mm (22 inches), and 600 mm (22.6 inches). The Sauer 200 Lang has four mounting holes: two at the front and two at the rear of the receiver.

A unique central channel allows the simultaneous use of the rifle's iron sights, providing a reliable backup option without needing to remove the rail when there is nothing mounted on it.

Mounting Instructions

Clean the rifle's receiver thoroughly with a cleaning fluid, such as acetone, to remove all stains, grease, and oil. Once the surface is clean and dry, verify that the screws fit both the rail and the receiver holes. Before mounting the rail, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid (278 or 648) to the screws, avoiding any contact with the mounting holes. Carefully clean any excess fluid around the rail using the cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, tighten the screws to the appropriate torque (up to 3 Nm/26.5 in-lbs). If you require any mounting tools, you can find them on our Rifle Scope Mounting Tools page.
