San Antonio, Texas (November 24, 2025) – J.P. Sauer & Sohn and Field Ethos introduce their latest collaboration – a limited-edition Sauer in 9.3×62 named The Exception. This adventure rifle is designed for the most challenging hunting adventures. It is the ultimate ‘working man’s adventure rifle’ and an exceptional value.
Developed in the early 1900s, the 9.3x62mm cartridge was widely used by German farmers and settlers in colonial Africa due to its effectiveness in taking a wide array of species from plains game to Cape Buffalo. The caliber’s versatility made it an easy choice for The Exception.
“The Exception is designed to handle any adventure you can throw at it while maintaining the classic look of a traditional safari rifle,” said Ron Dan, President, Field Ethos. “Using a Sauer in 9.3×62 as a base, we have added features you would find at 4x the price, and we have a rifle that can accompany you throughout the world. Tapping into the lineage and capabilities of the 9.3×62 cartridge, we now have a rifle that is as reliable as it is versatile.”
Featuring a grade 3 walnut stock, Sauer red safari recoil pad, and semi-weight barrel with 19mm taper, iron sights, and a barrel band sling stud, The Exception delivers German precision and accuracy. Sporting a customized Field Ethos magazine floor plate and a checkered steel bolt handle ball that handles like a dream, even with sweaty or muddy hands, this all-around rifle is engineered to excel in the most rugged terrain.
“Field Ethos embodies the spirit of adventure, traveling the globe to experience epic hunting and the challenges these quests often entail,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “At J.P. Sauer & Sohn, we share their passion for hunting off the beaten path, and The Exception is our latest collaboration to provide hunters with a special, workhorse of a rifle that delivers accuracy and a level of performance far exceeding its price point.”
All sales of The Exception will be through Rivers & Glen Trading Co. Home – Rivers & Glen Trading Company Guns.
