Sauer 505 Synchro XT Black Left Complete Package including Optics

The Sauer 505 Synchro XT Black Bolt Action Rifle – here in the left-handed version and with target optics – combines proven Sauer precision with an ergonomic polymer hole stock
There was great anticipation for what the gunsmiths from J.P. Sauer & Sohn would present after ten years as the successor to their successful model, the Sauer 404. The Sauer 505 bolt action rifle for left-handed shooters features a solid steel housing, which weighs only 732 g due to perfect skeletonization during machining. In combination with the ergonomic stock and the cold-hammered barrel, you receive a hunting rifle with the proven Sauer precision since 1751. This complete package includes optics, mounting, and zeroing.

The StockThe stock of this rifle version of the Sauer 505 for left-side aiming is the polymer hole stock Synchro XT Black. Its ergonomic design, which brings elegance and dynamism into symbiosis, immediately catches the eye. You can adjust the cheek piece to your personal physical needs when aiming and sighting using the height-adjustable stock comb. The stock length is 36.5 mm. Polymer is a lightweight and extremely durable material, allowing you to use your Sauer 505 Synchro XT Black regularly in adverse weather conditions without damaging the material. With the Synchro XT Black stock, your Sauer 505 is literally an all-weather rifle.

The System: Steel Housing and Steel BoltThe heart of the Sauer 505 is its system – here in the left-handed version – with an extremely smooth one-piece bolt that sits in a solid steel housing. The bolt is also made of steel, longer than in the predecessor model, and manufactured from a single piece. This allows for quieter cycling due to reduced friction losses and a smooth chambering. Since you likely chose a rifle of this type also for the feel of the operation during cycling, you will experience great pleasure with the Sauer 505.

The Hand TensionThe hand tension, which already distinguished the Sauer 404, has been further developed. It is now even easier to operate and makes your Sauer 505 even safer. With a light thumb pressure, the rifle can be cocked immediately before the shot, and just as easily, it can be released to unload in a relaxed state.

Trigger“The trigger, however, is the real showstopper,” writes Wolfram Osgyan in his test report (Herr und Hund, Issue 3/2024, p. 51), “free of creep, without dragging or sticking.” All hunters know how important a trigger without delay is, especially when their target has escaped because the trigger malfunctioned and the shot went awry. The Quattro trigger with four weight settings ensures that the trigger is crisp and that you have the precisely suitable trigger weight. You can individually set the triggers to 350, 750, 1,000, and 1,250 g as needed. The adjustment is easily done with the Sauer universal key, which can be optionally placed in the fore-end.

The BarrelThe barrel of the Sauer 505 is cold-hammered, allowing for highly precise shots. The muzzle diameter is 17 mm, and the muzzle is equipped with an M15x1 thread for a suppressor. It has a smooth profile, with a length ranging from 47 cm to 62 cm depending on the caliber. The barrels of the Sauer 505 and its other steel surfaces are effectively protected against corrosion by plasma nitriding. The stocks and barrels are, by the way, compatible with the Sauer 404, so you can use those from your 404 or still use your old rifle with the new stock and barrel as a second or reserve rifle.

MagazineThe magazine is made of polymer, just like the Sauer 505 Synchro XT Black stock, making it lighter than its predecessor made of metal. The magazines are designed for the selected calibers and hold 2 to 5 cartridges. The integrated magazine safety MagLock prevents unintentional activation of the magazine button.
