Our Assessment: This Sauer 200 rifle was produced by the company from 1984-1993 and was rather popular with consumers as it featured interchangeable barrels. The 200 was chambered for many cartridges, and this example is chambered for .270 Winchester, making for a good overall hunting and sporting rifle. In overall Fine-Plus condition, the 200 has a fine bore and is mechanically sound. This rifle will serve any Sig collector or passionate target shooter well. Good luck and happy bidding!
