Last night I was looking at the auction sites researching my next rifle and ran across one of these which sorta peaked my interest. You don't see many Sig Sauer rifles in these parts, in fact I've only seen 2 and both of them were 202s, but man, they sure were slick rifles. The one I played with had NICE deep blueing and a bolt as smooth a butter! Based on that limited experience I know next to nothing about Colt Sauer rifles and a couple of google searches didn't turn up much either but I'm still interested and hope someone can help me with a few questions?
1 Does the Colt Sauer 90 have a 60 degree bolt?
2 A tang safety?
3 In 300win, whats the barrel length? In 30-06?
4 How much does one weigh?
5 How well made are these rifles?
6 How accurate do they shoot?
7 Pros and cons, the good, bad and ugly?

I Had a Model 90 it is a great rifle the workmanship is the best there is for a production gun. mine was 7mm and it was lite about 6.5lbs they are the same gun as a Colt Sauer but some differances mod 90 early had a singel set trigger you pushed it foward to set it I realy liked it. the early also had open sights. the later mod got rid of these so production was in line with the colt rifle.Yhe safety was on the side of the tang if I rember right. It had a 60 deg. bolt with a internal cam that pushed the luggs out of the bolt body. It also had a 25" barrel on mine and shot good groups but was fussey about what was loaded mine liked them on the high side. Hope this Helps AL

The Colt\Sauer is just called the sporting rifle...no number designation like in the Sauer 90.
65 degree bolt lift-Yes
Tang safety-Yes
Clean barrel--no open sights except for the .458WM safari model
Barrel length of 25-06Rem is 23.6"
magnum barrel length-26"
weighs about 7.5#
Black vented recoil pad
Rosewood grip cap and foreend with white-line spacers
Chamber loaded signal pin
Cocking indicator
Adjustable trigger
Handcut checkering on highly figured walnut
Mine came with 2 detachable box magazines; one flush mount holds 3 cartridges, the other is a sow belly and holds 4.
You tell me, how well made are German rifles made by J. P. Sauer & Sohns in the mid to late 80's? Duh?
Mine had a barrel pressure point at the rosewood tip. Shot good enough hunting groups, not target rifle groups. I took it out and had it free-floated and skim bedded. It shot 6 Namibian Springboks at about 300 yards and each dropped dead right there.
From the pistol grip, the cheek rest and the 3 hole vented bolt body, it reminds me very much of a Weatherby Mark V.
It's shiny with the bowling pin finish, bluing is deep and dark and receiver and barrel match color well.
To tell the truth, I've never seen another weapon with the 3 rear bolt cam-activated locking lug action like this one. I don't even know the appropriate terminology for it. But I have never worked any bolt gun with a slicker action.

You won't see many like it, that's for sure! I'm keeping mine.

Ive got 4 of them and keeping them all. I really love these rifles and mine are pretty much what OBWHAN described. 1 in 7RM, 1 in 7STW and 2 in 300 WBY. They are fine rifles and id get another one if I could and the action is incredibly smooth to operate. Goodluck with the auction if you do decide to get but watch out you might have gotten a competitor just kidding!

Aloha!!!

I found them to be an excellent rifle, but apparently some of them were a bit fragile. At one time they developed a reputation for having the upper right portion of the stock break just ahead of the pistol grip in the magnums.

I have personally seen several of them broken in exactly that spot, but none were mine, so I have no idea exactly HOW they broke.
