Sauer 202 from mother-in-law

[wisconsinteacher]

It has been 9 months since I lost my father-in-law and it has not been easy, but the family is doing well and my mother-in-law made it through a long winter. We are always looking forward but remember the great times from the past with my wife's step-dad. This weekend I was finally able to go through his hunting gear. My wife is an only child in the picture so I was the one to take this job on. It was not easy but we made the best of it. Hunting was a big part of his life so this was important for me to do. When it was all over with, my mother-in-law gave me his Sauer 202 deer hunting rifle. He won it at a banquet a few years back and enjoyed the rifle a lot. It has a few war wounds but is still a very nice looking rifle. I have some 165 Partitions to load up this week for it and hope to get it out to the range soon.

Nice looking rifle. I would shoot it and hunt with it to Honor his life and friend ship you shared with him.

The 202 is a fine rifle. What cartridge is this rifle chambered in?

 

[6mm Remington]

Very nice looking rifle. I'm sure he would be very happy to see you using it like it should be. Like Mike I'm curious as to what chambering?? 30-06??

It is a 30-06. I found the tool needed to disassemble and had no clue what was until I looked at the rifle and did not see any action screws.

They are nice rifles and they are quite accurate. I have one and my dad has several.

Dandy looking rifle, and I'm sure it will elicit memories every time you pick it up.

That is a fine looking rifle :wink: & each time you use it there will be a part of your father-in-law with you.
Hopefully one day you will be able to past it down to another family member.

Blessings,

Indeed, that is a fine looking rifle. I suspect that you'll have it for a long, long time and will take some game with it as well.

Might be a real nice one to pass down to your son or daughter some day.

I have two, one is a wood stock like yours that started as a 270 but a friend gave me two heavy barrels, a 308 and a 6.5x55. The other is a 25-06 synthetic that has been my go to whitetail rifle for many years and has always performed well off the bench and in the field.

I think you have a potential winner there and the memories only make it better.

The Sig Sauer rifles have a great reputation for quality and for accuracy. You should get a lifetime of good use from it. Thoughtful and useful gift.
