Now, Sauer builds upon that legacy with the launch of the Sauer 505 rifle, taking what was already exceptional and elevating it to new heights.
In this blog, we’ll explore how the Sauer 505 advances the beloved 404 platform, highlighting the upgrades that make it a must-have for precision shooters and hunters alike.
Evolution of a Legend
The Sauer 404 was lauded for its modularity, accuracy, and premium feel. With features like the ability to swap barrels and the inclusion of Sauer's proprietary manual cocking system, it became a favourite among discerning hunters.
The new Sauer 505 keeps the 404’s best attributes while introducing several key upgrades that enhance safety, precision, and performance. Let’s take a closer look at what sets the 505 apart.
Key Upgrades with the Sauer 505
1. New Steel Action with Saddle Mount System
At the heart of the Sauer 505 is its new steel action, designed for durability and consistent accuracy. This action incorporates Sauer's proven saddle mount system, ensuring a guaranteed zero even after removing and reattaching the scope. This is a game-changer for hunters who require absolute confidence in their rifle’s precision during critical moments in the field.
2. Smoother Bolt Operation
The 505 introduces a redesigned bolt system that delivers a silky-smooth loading experience. Whether you're chambering a round during a high-stakes hunt or at the range, this improvement enhances speed and efficiency, ensuring seamless follow-up shots.
3. Enhanced Manual Cocking System
Building on the success of the Sauer 404's manual cocking system, the 505 incorporates an improved design for added safety and ease of use. The system allows the shooter to manually cock the rifle only when ready to fire, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. This innovation provides peace of mind without sacrificing readiness.
4. Adjustable Trigger for Tailored Precision
Every shooter has their preference when it comes to trigger weight, and the Sauer 505 caters to this with its adjustable trigger system. This feature allows you to fine-tune the trigger pull to your liking, improving accuracy and comfort for extended shooting sessions. Weights include 350, 750, 1000 or 1250 grams.
Barrel Compatibility with the Sauer 404
An important feature of the Sauer 505 is its backward compatibility with Sauer 404 barrels. This means that if you already own a Sauer 404, you can use its barrels with the 505, enhancing versatility and saving costs. For new buyers, it ensures access to a wide range of calibers without needing to replace the entire rifle.
A Rifle for the Modern Shooter
