The Sauer S 404 is a masterpiece of high-class repeating rifles that reflects Sauer's long-standing tradition and high quality standards. In 2015, the S 404 was introduced as the successor to the then top model, the S 202.
Similar to the S 303 and S 101 models, the S 404 features a manual cocking system that allows for silent cocking and uncocking of the weapon while maintaining user-friendliness. The reloading process is also silent. In addition to manual cocking, the S 404 has an automatic firing pin safety that is active as long as the weapon is not fully locked. To make the reloading process particularly quiet, Sauer, like all its repeating rifles, relies on a gentle chambering, which the company proudly highlights.
An outstanding feature of the Sauer S 404 is the ability to separate and exchange the locking head in the chamber with two simple movements. This not only increases the safety of the weapon, as it makes it even easier to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot fire the weapon, but also allows for the use of different calibers in the same rifle. The Sauer 404 is extremely modular and allows the hunter to quickly switch between different calibers.
As with the S 202, the S 404 has the barrel fixed with three clamping screws. The radial fixation of the barrel serves precision, as the S 404 is designed to shoot accurately again.
Also, the integrated universal key (SUS) in the removable sling swivel of the fore-end is a special feature of the S 404. With it, the hunter always carries the central tool for the modularity and flexibility of the S 404. Modularity is also ensured by the system and the bolt. The same bolt head fits various calibers (only for magnum calibers is there an extra bolt head) and can be exchanged just as quickly as the barrel. This also ensures safety when the weapon cannot be stored in the gun cabinet for a short time (for example, during travel or while driving after a driven hunt): The bolt head can be removed with a few simple movements, making it impossible to fire the weapon.
The S 404 is available in many different variants, and it also offers Sauer a high degree of customizability.
