"The Sauer 90 is a bolt-action rifle using a non-rotating bolt with rear-locking lugs expanded against matching lugs inside the rear of the action by rotating the bolt handle down. The rifle is known for having a relatively short and smooth bolt travel and is considered technically more complicated than the ""Gold Standard"" Mauser 98 bolt action. Sauer 90 was released in 1982 and sold in Europe. It was produced until 2006. The rifle is known for having very good precision, and has been used by hunters and sport shooters, and also in a sniper version known as SIG Sauer SSG 2000 by police and defense forces. This example is in great shape and topped with a Schmidt & Bender scope."
