Many years ago I was cruising the aisles of a gun show looking for something different and interesting. I came across this little rifle and had to have it. I call it my "old man" rifle because when I am too old and feeble to carry anything else I will hopefully still be able to handle it's 5 pound weight.
It handles like a little wand. The barrel is a slim 28.5 inch octagon. Proofed 4th month 1920, it shows signs of use but is still tight and the bore is excellent with a .260 inch groove diameter. I don't think the rifle is particularly unusual but what is uncommon is that it still has its scope, a DRGM Walter Gerard in see through claw mounts.

The 6.5x58r Sauer is about the power of the old 25-35 and I have always wanted to take it deer hunting but am afraid I would run into an elk or bear for which it would be a bit on the light side. I shoot both cast and jacketed bullets.
