Sauer 505 Iconic Highland

An all-round rifle that is also well-suited for hunting in the mountains – the 505 repeater in the pre-configured Highland package from Sauer and with the new Iconic stock in wood class 3 or 5.Two years after the market launch of the Sauer 505 repeater rifle, the company is expanding its modules with another component: the extravagant Iconic walnut stock. The stock is also a component of the pre-configured Highland package from Sauer. In this equipment package named after the Scottish Highlands, Sauer has particularly focused on the combination of style and functionality as well as weight and handling. The highlights of this package at a glance:

The caliber can be chosen from a wide range of mini, standard, and magnum caliber groups, and the barrel length is also freely selectable depending on the caliber.

The Stock
The new Iconic stock from Sauer is a two-part stock made of walnut, available in wood classes 3 and 5, finished with a polished surface. Ergonomics and aesthetics are equally innovative. The steep pistol grip with a pronounced palmswell and the optimally sized thumb hole keep the shooting hand and arm in a relaxed position, allowing for an intuitive shooting stance. The straight stock back transitions into the cheek piece in a curved, flowing line. The forend also has a slightly curved shape, which is further accentuated by a drop nose made of black ebony. The checkered texture on the grip surfaces feels pleasant in the hands. The length of pull is 365 mm, ending with a recoil-absorbing cap in black with a thickness of 15 mm.

The System
The solid steel housing of the 505 allows for a smooth chamber operation and quiet cycling due to reduced friction. The surfaces of the housing and the chamber are coated with a DLC coating. DLC stands for "Diamond Like Carbon." This type of coating is very environmentally friendly and biocompatible compared to galvanic coatings. The coated components are particularly resistant and very smooth due to a thin-film coating process. The hand tension of the 505 is comfortable and safe. A longer tension path requires even less effort. With a light thumb pressure, the rifle is cocked just before the shot and then released to discharge. The Sauer 505 features a Quattro trigger with four weight settings. The trigger breaks cleanly at the precisely individually fitting trigger weight. Settings of 350 g, 750 g, 1,000 g, and 1,250 g are possible. The adjustment is made with the Sauer universal key while the forend is removed. The textured chamber grip ball visually integrates excellently into the overall design. Depending on the caliber, the magazine can be chosen with a capacity of 2 or 3 rounds and 5 rounds.

The Barrel
The cold-hammered barrel of the Sauer 505 rifle is fluted in the Highland package. This offers the advantage that the increased surface area of the barrel due to the fluting dissipates heat more quickly, preventing disturbing heat mirage even during rapid fire. Another advantage of the fluting is weight reduction. The muzzle is equipped with an M15x1 thread for a suppressor. It is without sights, and its length is optionally between 47 cm and 62 cm, partly depending on the caliber. The barrel of the Sauer 505 Highland is effectively protected against corrosion by a DLC coating, just like its other steel surfaces. The barrel is compatible with the Sauer 404 repeater rifle, allowing it to be used with the older rifle.
