Yes had sleeves rolled up a glass of Mr Walker ..red at hand ready for the auction fight ...nope first and last bid won it ....my new Springbok rifle ....
 
I'm sure you will come to admire it as much as I do mine! They do seem to multiply though. ;)
 
Pics didn't open for me...
 
Congratulations on an amazing rifle indeed! She is a real beauty.

Agreed, that looks more like a 1950 to me. I acquired a 1950 30-06 in the rifle configuration a few months back, and it is one of the best handling rifles in my safe. A real good shooter as well, even with open sights and my aging eyes. :)

Guys thanks for the help - Now I have to find a 1952 in 6.5x54MS - as mine will be lonely in the armory without kin close by.
 
How about a 8x56 to keep it company? I have a friend who is selling his. It was purchased from Griffin and Howe years ago and was made between 1906 and 1930. (Don’t think Griffin and Howe did work on it). For its age it is in incredible condition. In case your rifle needs company.

Beautiful sadly way too expensive to export from the USA.

I will find a 52 to match my now 50 and then an org takedown maybe - depending on funds and desires !
 
A 1950 has a "straight" or 90 degree bolt handle. The 1952 bolt handle is swept back.
 
just added a 1908 - described by someone I trust as 100 percent bore 80 percent finish !

So you good people what have I bought - I am weak I cannot say no !

7x57 if you dont mind ! Suits you Sir ! or so I was told
 
As I am a novice on such things, would you refinish or leave as original to maintain value? Well done Sir!

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. 956 206 4444 in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
