Big money for a Sauer

[ColtSnakes]

Colt Sauer's are some nice guns, but I never thought I'd see one swap hands for this much:

I have been told that 308 is one of the rarest calibers. Keep kicking myself for passing on a used one for $900 10 years ago. But I too don't understand that price either.

The 308's do go for more than the other calibers. The Sauer historian says the 22-250 is the rarest short action but for some reason the 308 seems to get top dollar. A grade 3, grade 4 or a drilling will push you well north of this price range. Compared to what you can buy today they are still probably way undervalued.

I have always thought,those Sauer Colts and the Belgium Browning Safari (and Medallion ) where some of the most undervalled production bolt actions made.
Can't recall then @800 but I do recall passing on one for 1000 at a Pa show years ago.

A local shop here in Greenville SC currently has one in a 30/06 for $1650. I would love to own it, but my pockets are not that deep.

That might not be a bad price if it has the box and is in high condition.

Found this site with bit of info on the Sauer's

there is no box, but it is about 98%
