Default RE: Colt Sauer I bought Today

Congrats DoctorDeath, you done good.



I bought a ColtSauer back in the late 70's. I was working at a gun shop at the time. All had beautiful wood.I had probably a dozen to choose from.I hand picked one and it was a 30-06.I put a Redfield scope 3x9Widefield, Redfieldbase and Jr/Sr engraved rings on it.This rifle is still unfired NIB.Years ago and I have no idea how it happened.I noticed a small spot where the bluing is missing. It was just under the scopes objective on top of the barrel.Believeme it about made me sick.I can't imagine anything getting on it and it's been a safe queen since day one.I've been considering looking for anengraver and have a small engraving done to cover this spot. It's really small and chances are nobody will ever see it. Just knowing it's there bugs the hell out of me.
I wishnow, I would have bought a couple of the Colt Sauer "Drillings"We has several of the Drillings at the shop back then.
