Sauer 505 ErgoLux Heavy Weight Highland

The Sauer 505 ErgoLux bolt-action rifle in the Highland configuration, complete with a heavy contour barrel for optimal oscillation behavior.Style and functionality come together in the Highland equipment package of the Sauer 505 bolt-action rifle. This is reflected in the ErgoLux stock of class 3, which combines ergonomics with luxury, in the DLC coating on the barrel, housing, and chamber, as well as in the fluted barrel with heavy contour.

The Stock
Many hunters swear by the natural material wood for tactile reasons. The sophisticated shape of the ErgoLux walnut stock – here in wood class 3 – significantly compensates for perceived recoil and gives the rifle great stability, regardless of the shooting position you adopt. The cheek piece has been further optimized compared to previous versions, making your contact with the rifle even more organic. In combination with the ergonomic pistol grip, you will feel one with your Sauer 505 ErgoLux when you shoot. The stock length is 36.5 cm.

The Steel Housing with DLC Coating
The solid steel housing allows for quiet cycling due to reduced friction losses and a smooth chambering process. 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 chamber grip ball is subtly knurled in this version.

The Manual Safety
The manual safety is both comfortable and secure. In the Sauer 505 model, it has undergone further development compared to predecessor models, both in terms of usability and safety. A longer cocking travel requires even less effort. With a light thumb pressure, you can cock your rifle just before the shot, and just as easily relax it afterwards to unload.

The Trigger
The Sauer 505 features a Quattro trigger with four weight settings. This allows the trigger to break crystal clear, and you have exactly the individually suitable 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 fore-end is uncocked. A precisely adjusted trigger reduces the risk of jerking during the shot and missing the target.

The Magazine
The polymer magazine is designed for the chosen calibers and holds 2, 3, or 5 cartridges depending on the version. An unintentional release of the magazine button is prevented by the integrated magazine safety MagLock.

The Barrel
The approximately 300 g heavier heavy contour barrel makes the Sauer 505 ErgoLux Highland front-heavy and ensures better oscillation behavior. Additionally, the inherent precision of the barrel increases, and recoil is reduced. The cold-hammered barrel without sights 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, so that even with high shot sequences, no disturbing heat mirage occurs. Another advantage of fluting is weight reduction. The barrel is equipped with an M17x1 thread for a suppressor. Its length varies between 47 cm and 56 cm depending on caliber and personal choice. The barrel of the Sauer 505 Highland is effectively protected against corrosion by a DLC coating, just like its other steel surfaces. The stocks and barrels are also compatible with the Sauer 404, allowing you to use them with your old rifle.
