Greatest Hits: German Boar Hunter with Sauer 202 — Rapid Fire
When we first ran this video a couple years back, readers were amazed at the off-hand, rapid-fire shooting skills of this young, German hunter, armed with a Sauer 202 rifle.
Check out this video of a young German hunter, Franz Albrecht Öttingen-Spielberg. Shooting off-hand with a Sauer 202 bolt action, he makes multiple kills on wild boar running at full speed. Half way through the video, a pack of boar crosses right to left, running fast. You need slow motion to see all Franz’s hits as he engages one animal after another. He doesn’t hit with every shot, but a quick count shows that nearly half his shots, fired rapid-fire from a standing position, were solid takedowns. Notice how Franz “leads” his prey, moving the muzzle from right to left along the animals’ path.
Slow-Mo Video Reveals Knock-Down Power of 7mm Rem Magnum
Near the beginning of the video, slow-motion footage reveals bullet trace, and the bullet’s impact on a running boar. The shot takes the boar right at the top of the shoulder and the animal goes down in a heap. This is impressive shooting. The video shows what is possible with a skilled marksmen, a powerful cartridge (7mm Rem Magnum), and an accurate, smooth-cycling bolt gun.

An awesome show of reflexes and skill. This man is very cool.
Actually, he is using a .270WM not 7mm RM. His shooting technic is awesome.
Editor: Was this a mistake by the video producers? In the video, the narrator says the caliber is 7mm Remington Magnum at time mark 0:16.
Doesn’t recoil like a magnum…
Anyway, two points. Firstly for those students of military history out there, this is the hunting style that influenced the Jaeger rifle but also the WWI German sniping doctrine. Short rifle, close terrain and fast shooting.
Second point. The Sauer 202 action is the closest I have felt to cycling a SMLE for smoothness. On my to buy list now.
It is the producers mistake.
If you watch the whole dvd than there somewhere can be seen when he reloads and on the box you can see .270win when the camera focuses on it.
The narration is from an other part of the video because the other hunter uses 7mm RM.
The video is a venture between Sauer and Aimpoint. Frantz is using a lightly customized Sauer 202 in 270 winchester. He is using RWS KS 150 grain. Erik is a professional Aimpoint instructor and he is using a 7mm Remington Magnum with a sauer rifle too.
