    President Ronald Reagan with a Colt Sauer?

    Ran into this picture today of President Ronald Reagan with what looks to me like a Colt Sauer. Is that what I'm seeing?

    Yes, I did notice that he's not being very safe and has his finger on the trigger.

    Can you imagine what a field day the press would have if any president would have posed like this today, well except for the current President, he seems to get away with anything.

    Always wanted one of these but, yeah I might too much money for me.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Smoothest bolt action I have ever seen. I was always looking for one in .30-06 but picked up a .458 Winchester Magnum Grand African.

    Yes, it's a Colt Sauer. You can tell from the leftside of the receiver and scope rings.
