I found a Sauer 202 rifle for sale recently at an incredible price. The original owner had lost the magazine and the proprietary snap-in sling swivels, and had broken off the lever on one of the QD mounts. The rifle itself was in good shape with little evidence of being used. The steel magazines for the magnum calibers (this one is a 300 Win Mag) are almost $300, but I found a new one on close-out for $99. I had another QD scopemount in my parts drawer, and miraculously found a set of the snap-in swivel s from a Sauer I must have owned in the past. I had a spare 4-12 Leupold in gloss to match the bluing, and put it all together.

Biebs you need to do one of those “In the Arms of the Angels” themed rescue commercials.

For just 2 dollars a day p, your donation can save a firearm from being destroyed, rusted, or locked in a corner of a dark closet.

In the Arms of the Angles plays out...”Please, Donate today.”

So how much would you take for it??? Big Grin I have a nephew in need of a good rifle for out west and this one would be easier than building him one.


Shoot straight, shoot often.
