San Antonio, Texas (December 16, 2024) – The long-awaited Sauer 505 is now shipping in the United States after its impressive debut in Europe last year.
This bolt-action rifle from J.P. Sauer and Sohn is an engineering masterpiece, delivering timeless elegance, absolute accuracy, and exceptional versatility. It is available in four stock options – walnut (wood grade 5), traditional synthetic, synthetic thumbhole, or carbon fiber – and features a robust, lightweight skelatonized steel chassis. Bolt cycling is silky smooth, and the interchangeable, cold hammer forged precision barrels allow for quick and easy caliber changes. Hunters can select between four pre-set trigger weights from 0.77 lbs. to up to 2.75 lbs.
The ergonomically perfected manual cocking system is safe, lightweight, quiet, and easy on the thumb. Once ready to shoot, simply apply slight pressure with your thumb to cock the rifle. Uncocking and unloading in the uncocked position is just as easy.
Sauer has adopted the proven Blaser saddle mount technology for easy and accurate optics mounting. This quick detach mount is designed to ensure the optic can be taken off the Sauer 505 and put back on while maintaining the precise point of aim without having to re-zero the scope. This is a significant advantage for those who travel frequently.
The flush mounted detachable magazine features an integrated MagLock safety which prevents unwanted triggering of the magazine button. Rifle weights range from around 6 lbs. with the ultralight carbon fiber stock to heavier weight field options with magnum barrels.
Available in the U.S. in the following calibers: .222 Rem., .223 Rem., .243 Rem., .308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, .30-06 Spring., .270 Win., 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win. Mag, 6.5 PRC, .270 WSM, .375 H&H. For more information, visit: Sauer 505 and Sports South for dealer stock.
