This bolt action rifle was manufactured just twelve years (1973-1985), by JP Sauer of Germany for Colt. According to my serial number research, only 18,000 rifles were produced from 1973 through 1978. I don't have the serial number ranges after 1978, but since Colt has published their Serial Number Lookup Database, it is very easy to identify your gun.
