The Sauer 505 is J.P. Sauer & Sohn's newest bolt action, with a steel receiver, a very smooth and quiet bolt, hand cocking and a four-setting trigger. The Synchro XT is the working version, with a tough black polymer stock and a comb that adjusts to put your eye right behind the scope.
In .308 Win it comes with a 510 mm (20") cold-hammered barrel threaded M15x1, a 3-round magazine and Sauer's saddle mount system, and weighs 3.55 kg. It's also listed in .30-06 Springfield, and both calibres have a 1:11" twist.

Key Features
- Adjustable comb – the Synchro XT stock's comb rises up to 60 mm for a good cheek weld behind any scope.
- Black polymer stock – weatherproof and tough enough for hard use.
- Hand cocking – the rifle stays uncocked until you're ready to shoot, and cocks and de-cocks quietly.
- Quattro trigger – choose a 350, 750, 1000 or 1250 g pull to suit the hunt.
- Maglock – an integrated magazine lock stops the magazine dropping out by accident.
- Cold-hammered barrel – 17 mm contour with a threaded muzzle.
- Saddle mount system – Sauer's proven scope mount returns to zero when refitted.
- Modular system – one action across many calibres, with barrel and stock changes possible later.
Best For
- Sambar, red deer and pigs – the .308 Win and .30-06 handle large game at normal hunting ranges.
- Hunting in thick country – the 510 mm (20") barrel on the .308 Win keeps the rifle short and handy.
- Wet-weather hunts – a polymer stock that won't swell or shift.

Buying & Licensing
This is a Category B firearm (centrefire rifle, not self-loading). You need a current firearms licence that covers Category B and an approved Permit to Acquire before we can release it. NSW buyers can collect from our Roseville Chase store. Interstate buyers can have it shipped to a licensed dealer of their choice, who completes the transfer under their own state's rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Synchro XT compare with other Sauer 505 versions?
All 505s share the same action, Quattro trigger and saddle mount. The Synchro XT has a black polymer stock with an adjustable comb. The ErgoLux has a timber stock, the ErgoMax a fixed black polymer stock, and the Synchro XTC a lighter carbon stock.
How does hand cocking work?
The rifle is carried uncocked. Push the cocking slide forward when you're ready to shoot, and slide it back to de-cock quietly.
Can I fit a scope?
Yes. The 505 uses Sauer's saddle mount, which fits the receiver directly and returns to zero when refitted.
What licence do I need?
A firearms licence that covers Category B, plus an approved Permit to Acquire for this rifle. See Buying & Licensing above.
