For sale is a Colt Sauer Sporting Rifle bolt-action in .30-06. Serial number- CR13259. This rifle is in great condition overall but has a very small chip on the bottom of the grip. Comes with a leather sling and scope rings. The rifle was marketed with a single word – Incomparable. Produced in Germany by J.P. Sauer & Sohn, these high-quality bolt-action rifles were built primarily for the American hunting market at the behest and shared specifications of USA-darling Colt. The rifles were introduced in 1971 and saw a 14-year run, fading away quietly in 1985. Perhaps its closest companion is the Weatherby Mark V line of bolt guns, but most folks who own or shoot both favor the Colt Sauer. The design was unique to the time. To increase operating speed, a Colt Sauer’s bolt locks up without rotating by utilizing three internally-cammed locking lugs. It is fed by a hefty steel single-stack magazine with the brand and caliber neatly engraved on the face of the follower. Colt Sauers are dressed in a fine American walnut stock with 18-line hand checkering and a high-gloss finish. A rosewood forend and grip cap add intrigue, while the deep bluing is an art to behold.
