The Sauer 505 Synchro XTC Bolt Action Rifle with its Lightweight Carbon Stock and Steel Housing in Left-Hand Configuration as a Complete Package with Optics
The gunsmiths from Allgäu at J.P. Sauer & Sohn have introduced a worthy successor to their successful rifle, the Sauer 404, after ten years. The new Sauer 505 bolt action rifle impresses with a solid steel housing that, despite this robust material, contributes only 732 g to the overall weight of the rifle due to its construction. From the ergonomic stock to the precise steel housing and the cold-hammered barrel, you will be thrilled with this hunting rifle.
The Stock
With the Carbon Stock Synchro XTC – here in the left-hand version – you give your Sauer 505 rifle high stability and excellent ergonomics, ensuring extremely comfortable aiming and shooting in every shooting position. The steep grip and the palm swell – individually designed for right- and left-handed shooters – combined with the height-adjustable comb provide optimal contact for every optical system. The stock length is 36.5 mm. Carbon is very lightweight yet robust, but its most important feature is its damping property, which maximally absorbs recoil. With the Synchro XTC stock on your Sauer 505 rifle, your shooting hand remains completely relaxed, significantly increasing your hit rate.
The System: Steel Housing and Steel Bolt
The system of the Sauer 505 – here in the left-hand version – consists, as mentioned, of a solid steel housing and a one-piece bolt, also made of steel. Steel has a significant advantage over aluminum in that it has much lower friction losses. Therefore, with the Sauer 505 system, you experience a super smooth chambering and quiet cycling. The tactile act of cycling the action remains a magical moment even after years of hunting, and with the Sauer 505, this experience is further enhanced.
The Manual Safety
A unique feature of the Sauer 404 is the manual safety, which is highly comfortable and secure at the same time. The successor model, the Sauer 505, has seen further development in both usability and safety. An extension of the cocking travel requires even less effort. With a light thumb pressure, you can cock your rifle just before the shot, and just as easily, you can relax it afterward to unload.
Trigger
Like its predecessor, the Sauer 505 features a Quattro trigger with four weight settings, ensuring that the trigger breaks cleanly and you have the precisely suitable trigger weight. However, in the new model, the lowest setting has been further reduced from 500 g to 350 g. The other resistances remain the same as the Sauer 404 at 750 g, 1,000 g, and 1,250 g. The adjustment is made with the Sauer universal key, which can be placed in the fore-end with the trigger pulled. With a trigger that is always dry and free of creep, the risk of a shot going awry due to glitches is practically zero.
The Barrel
The cold-hammered barrel of the Sauer 505 allows for extremely precise results when shooting. The muzzle diameter is 17 mm, and the muzzle is equipped with an M15x1 thread for a suppressor. The Sauer 505 bolt action rifle comes with a barrel with a smooth profile. The barrel lengths range from 47 cm to 62 cm, depending on the caliber. The corrosion protection of the barrels and all other steel surfaces of the Sauer 505 is a plasma nitriding. Stocks and barrels are compatible with the Sauer 404, allowing you to use them on both models.
Magazine
Unlike the predecessor model, which had a metal magazine, the magazine of the Sauer 505 is made of polymer, making it lighter. The magazines are designed for the selected calibers and hold between 2 to 5 cartridges, depending on the version. An unintentional release of the magazine button is prevented by the integrated magazine safety MagLock.
