I would be interested what you think of the 404. Did you come to the 404 from another model Sauer? 202?

Cheers mate! I am really stoked with it and the way it comes up and feels. Trigger and bolt are butter smooth.

Did not hunt this one myself as getting a property in Brisbane is not as easy.

I came to Sauer from a long time being a Sako fan. Both me and dad had Sako Bavarian's but sold them and got the 404. In my opinion the 404 is quite superior, that some hunters prefer them over Blaser who are quite similar. You can adjust the trigger pull weight to 550 g (1.2 lbs), 750 g (1.7 lbs), 1000 g (2.2 lbs) and 1250 g (2.7 lbs) , it's a modular system so you can just buy more barrels and bolt heads and you got yourself a new rifle , the tool to take down the rifle is on the forend where the sling attachment is, Breaks down to nothing when travelling if you use the sauer case or even the smaller pelican cases ( 1700 ) , i mainly bought it because of the safety and having the manual cocking system is the safest on the market , you can adjust your trigge blade to left or right or can move it forward or backwards to suit your length of pull. It returns to zero when you remove your scope which is another bonus. Lot of manufactures who make mounts for the 404 ( Do not get the Sauer SUM , Innomount is superior to them and what we use on both of our 404's ) . https://www.optics-trade.eu/au/mount...04-mounts.html Any mounts i need i always use these guys, 4 day shipping to australia.



You will not be dissapointed with a 404, i have used blasers , they are nice but i love my 404. Downside with the 404 is that caliber selection is not as good as with blaser and the scope is mounted on the receiver and not on the barrel, like blasers if you want a steel receiver you got to pay extra but the 404 has the 8x68 S, 10,3x68 Mag., 10,3x60R, .375 H&H Mag all in Aviation-grade high-alloy aluminum receiver so i would say they would be safe to use unless you pay extra for the steep receiver.

Apologies to everyone on here for a long post hahaha
