This is an early version of the Grand African, high quality magnum rifle as manufactured by J.P. Sauer & Son of Germany, circa late 1970/early 1980s. The rifle features the patented non-rotating bolt with the bolt lock button on top of the bolt handle, which provides a smoother action than most standard bolt action rifles. The top of the barrel is marked ".458 WIN MAG" followed by J.P. SAUER & SOHN/GMBH GEGRUNDET 1751", with the left side of the receiver marked "SAUER 90/MADE IN GERMANY". It has the heavy magnum weight barrel with a hooded ramp front sight and a Williams adjustable rear sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and it has the patented adjustable trigger. It is fitted with a checkered pistol grip walnut stock with a cheekpiece on the left hand with contrasting rosewood forend tip and grip cap. The grip cap has the intertwined Sauer logo inlay. The stock has the factory sling swivel studs and a "Colt SAUER" marked ventilated recoil pad. These rifles were discontinued in 1985.

Excellent with 99% original blue finish, and only minimal handling marks. The wood is excellent with some small scattered handling marks on the stock and grip cap. Mechanically excellent.
