Default RE: Colt Sauer I bought Today

ORIGINAL: eldeguello

One of the best, and also most unique, bolt-action rifles ever made......
Eld your right ole buddy ..you do know your rifles ....this one has a pretty cool story behind it ....it was purchased new by the Vero Beach sherrifs department in 1975 to use as a snipper rifle..they felt like at the time that the Colt Sauer was the finest rifle in the world along withthe Bausch and Lomb Balvar scope... they wanted it to be a large enough cal. to drop a man in his tracks in case of a plane high jacking ....several years later the gentleman (retired law inforcement officer) I bought it from bought it from the Sherrifs dept ....he was a SWAT team instructor when he retired and over the years had aquired many weapons ...he is now in his 70s so he is selling off some of him collection ....
