Default RE: best quality made rifles

The Colt Sauer is push-feed, and very well-made. It has a bolt in which the locking lugs on the front of the bolt are cammed in and out of recesses in the bolt body by raising and lowering the bolt handle. The bolt DOES NOT rotate, the locking lugs are pivoting parts! Makes for a smooth bolt, but rather strange setup. These rifles failed in the marketplace, for a reason I am not aware of.

Comsumer Reports evaluated them: " Did everything I asked of it in two trips to Africa. The action is so smooth I' m not sure what would happen if it got dirt in it...could jamb easier than a more wobbly action."

They now sell for around $3,000.00 in excellent condition....
