saw my first colt sauer in the late 70's at eddie Bauer before they went Libertad. but I wS a poor college student. finally bought a beaut in 300 weatherby a couple of years ago. the actions are just smooth as silk and the wood is much nicer than on the sauers.
although more expensive, especially since being discontinued, the cz mini mauser is top of the heap in my book. I also have tika"s and howa"s.nice guns, all!
