Colt Sauer .270  
A Colt Sauer .270 bolt action rifle This bolt action rifle was manufactured just twelve years (1973-1985), by JP Sauer of Germany for Colt. According to the serial number chart below, only 15,600 rifles were produced from 1973 through 1978. I don't have the serial number ranges after 1978, but I'm looking for them.

I am currently seeking information about the numbers of each caliber produced. This weapon is chambered for the .270.

Colt Sauer Rifle: Bolt Action, .270 caliber, 24" bbl., magazine capacity 3 rounds.

Bolt action firearms have earned a reputation for being more powerful and accurate than any semi automatic rifle. For this reason, they are still the choice of many target shooters and snipers. This is true because of the way that bolt action rifles close the chamber. When a bullet fires inside the chamber, the force from the explosion is completely directed at propelling the bullet down the barrel (In an autoloader, part of the energy is used to cycle the action). Also, a bolt action's only moving parts when firing are the pin and spring.

Since it has fewer moving parts, it has less of a chance of being thrown off target and less of a chance to jam. Finally, since the spent cartridge has to be manually removed instead of automatically ejected, it helps a sniper remain better hidden, since not only is the cartridge not flung into the air and to the ground, possibly giving away the sniper's position, but the cartridge can be removed when most prudent, allowing the sniper to remain still until reloading is tactically feasible.

This Colt Sauer .270 is truly beautiful and one of my all-time favorite bolt action rifles:
