Sauer 505 ErgoMax Black Complete Package including Optics

The Sauer 505 ErgoMax Black bolt-action rifle with its ergonomic polymer stock meets all functional and aesthetic demands of a contemporary hunting rifle
The Sauer 505 bolt-action rifle features a solid steel housing, which, due to optimal milling, has a weight of only 732 g, an ergonomically shaped stock, and a cold-hammered barrel, making it a hunting rifle that is truly exceptional.

The Stock

Its name already suggests it: The elegantly black ErgoMax Black stock of the Sauer 505 promises maximum ergonomics. At the same time, it is elegantly designed. The stock length is 36.5 mm. Polymer is a very durable plastic, and adverse environmental conditions are not an issue for your Sauer 505 ErgoMax Black. The material is lightweight. In combination with the ErgoMax Black stock, your Sauer 505 is a solid and robust all-round hunting rifle.

The System: Steel Housing and Bolt

A special advantage is the design of the heart of the Sauer 505 rifle. Its system is equipped with an extremely smooth one-piece bolt that is housed in a solid steel casing. The bolt is also made of steel. It is longer than that of the predecessor Sauer 404 and made from a single piece. This significantly reduces friction losses compared to the same components made of aluminum and provides you with a smooth chambering and a quiet cycling that becomes a tactile experience every time.

The Manual Safety

The particularly light and very safe manual safety of the Sauer 404 rifle has been further developed for the successor model. The ease of use is noticeably increased – quite literally with the thumb. With a light thumb pressure, the rifle can be cocked before the shot and just as easily released afterward to safely unload the rifle.

Trigger

A perfectly adjusted trigger with the right individual resistance is the prerequisite for a good shot. If the trigger malfunctions, the shot will be pulled down. To ensure that the trigger always stands dry, the Sauer 505 features a Quattro trigger, which allows you to choose between four weight settings. Depending on your individual needs, you can set the resistance to 350 g, 750 g, 1,000 g, and 1,250 g. The adjustment is simple and hassle-free with a few hand movements when the fore-end is uncocked. You only need the "Sauer Universal Key" (SUS), which can be optionally placed in the fore-end; the "Sauer Mini Universal Key" (MUS) is included as standard.

The Barrel

The Sauer 505 ErgoMax Black bolt-action rifle is equipped with a cold-hammered barrel, just like the Sauer 404 rifle. This allows for highly precise shots. The muzzle diameter is standard at 17 mm, and the muzzle is equipped with an M15x1 thread for a suppressor. The standard barrel lengths are 51 cm and 62 cm. Upon request, 56 cm barrels are also available for the Mini, Medium, and Magnum caliber groups. The barrels of the Sauer 505 and their other steel surfaces are effectively protected against corrosion by plasma nitriding; optionally, you can receive a DLC surface (Diamond Like Carbon) for an additional charge. In this configuration with the Sauer 505 ErgoMax Black polymer stock and a 51 cm barrel, the Sauer 505 bolt-action rifle is 101.5 cm long and weighs approximately 3.5 kg.

The stocks and barrels are compatible with the Sauer 404, allowing you to use them with your old rifle and the new 505 rifle.

Magazine

Like the ErgoMax Black stock, the magazine is made of robust polymer plastic. This makes it lighter than that of the Sauer 404, which is made of metal. The magazines are each designed for the selected calibers and hold 2 to 5 cartridges. The integrated magazine safety MagLock prevents unintentional activation of the magazine button.

Modular Sauer Principle

The individual modules of the Sauer 505 rifle can be configured in two ways: either by completely customizing your Sauer 505 rifle according to your personal needs or by choosing from three equipment packages assembled by gunsmiths and hunters. You proceed as follows:

You choose one of the 19 calibers in the corresponding barrel length and contour.
Then you determine which stock you want – here the polymer stock ErgoMax Black.
Finally, you decide on a pre-configured equipment package (Elegance, Highland, or Outback) or design your rifle entirely according to your own ideas.

Furthermore, all scopes that can be connected to the rifle using Blaser saddle mounts can be used with the Sauer 505.
