We took the new SAUER 404 to the shooting range to see if it can performe as the producers of it claim. We tested it with several types of ammunition and took it apart.
Hello from rep of ireland , love the channel, just got a 202 sauer and love the saftey as I have arthritis in my hands I can't work the 404 saftey, pity as they are lovely, would love a vid on the 202 any tips on using it, I like it so much I'm going to get another in 22250
Is the deer skull below the sheep skull a roe deer?! If so its a giant! Great review BTW. I purchased a Sauer 404 of the back of it. The new cocking safety was the deal breaker for me.
I'm confused by the safety? You say that after loading a round - the safety lever must be pushed up to cock the action (pre-firing). Can you push the safety up before cocking - so that the action is ready to fire immediately upon closing of the action? Does it need to be pushed up each time the action is worked? I'm thinking of dangerous game - makes no sense to have to push up the safety lever/cocker before being able to fire the rifle. Maybe I don't understand? Maybe the action is not cocked only if the lever is in the down position? And cocked if the lever is all the way up when the action is worked?
The Sauer 404 is an amazing hunting rifle. I might give you an argument on it being the smoothest bolt action. I find the Sako 100 just marginally smoother, but,it is still smoother. The 404 does have a better caliber selection though.
Blaser R8 bolt is way more complicated build than traditional bolt with decoker. All I can really say is try them. I have 202 and did buy R8 Ultimate. Sold it after one season, it just didn't feel right, and that's what hunting is all about. Feeling. Went to try 404 and now I want one, it felt good, like home. Dont try to reason yourself out of buying a rifle because someone said something (I did, and I was not happy) afterall it is your rifle and you should feel great with it. No amount of making sense or better this or that is not going to change feeling you have. If it feels right, buy it and never look back 👍
An articulate, relevant, concise review and breakdown of the 404...thank you for taking the trouble to offer an English language video detailing this rifle...I'll look forward to your future insights on other gear...well done.
A very nice rundown of the Sauer 404. English as well, even more delightful. The rifle looks very impressive. I will try to get to one of the Game fairs around the UK in the summer. Then, I can have a close look, put some hard earning to the side and see if I can keep hold of it....
Very nice movie. Beside the explanation of the details of the 404, also some very good explanations about training and ammo test. You can't say it enough that training is major issue in handeling a rifle. Well done.!!
ettertje11 I know people who hit a coin at 500 yards with there grandfathers rifle, just because the know the weapon and they train a lot. Thanks for getting back!!
Thanks Max... Nicely done.... I have an older S90 (early 70s Mfg)... and it still is my hunting rifle of choice... And know... 4-5k I may just buy a S404.....hmmmm
Hello Max. I'm a first time viewer. I thought that you did a good job. On the safety, I own three R93's and the safety was different from American rifles but I got used to it quickly and marvel at the genius behind those German engineers. Again, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the nice review. Since you know very well about the S202 , can you tell me which Sauer Rifle Case should I get ? Mine is just a standart S202 300 Win Mag. Could the case for take down versions also work ?
Great video and great rifle. Pity about the 9 month wait time on the 404 though. And when I got mine this week, it came with the wrong barrels, the wrong stock finish, a faulty trigger pull, the wrong scope mount, and the wrong case. So their engineering is good, but as a company they clearly couldn't organise a beerfest in a brauerei
Finally a great review of the Sauer 404, thank you. I'd love to get more training done in Europe do you have any recommendation of places to go ? Thanks again for the review
Thank you for the version in English much appreciated and great review
Fermanagh prepper Thanks for letting me know and stay tuned!! :)
Max Hunt How much this rifle sale in Canada or America?
Thank you for an excellent comprehensive review on this beautiful Deutsche engineered piece of brilliance 👍
Good review. Looks like a nice rifle for sure. Somewhat similar to the Merkel Helix

i cant get the fore end of my elegance stock on...its so tight im scared i may break something if i push to hard. Are they known to swell at all?.

Have you actually found a Sako 100 on the market anywhere??
@@pilotnicco just used. That's where I was able to touch one for comparison.
Maybe is stupid question but i must ask for help. What you suggest r8 or 404? Someone tells me no buy 404 it is to complicated?
Personally, I would NEVER go for Blaser. Just my opinion....

Excellent review. I want one!
Thanks for the review (I know it 's 4 years old at this point 😊). Have been saving for one of these, I'm almost there...
Beautifully explained the details of the rifle.Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your video you Are making a lot of sense

good advice & excellent information dennisstrickland

Good review, much appreciated. Putting money away for one right now, it's going to take a while.
These rifles interest me a lot. Very elegant and technological at the same time. They are expensive and perhaps I'll own one in the near future.

Thanks for the video. I am in the market for a new rifle i narrowed it down between Sauer 404 vs Blaser R8 and i cannot decide . Which is better?
Great video and great rifle. Pity about the 9 month wait time on the 404 though. And when I got mine this week, it came with the wrong barrels, the wrong stock finish, a faulty trigger pull, the wrong scope mount, and the wrong case.

lol.. that's a lot of fuck ups! Maybe they sent you someone else's rifle...
i want to know the details ballistics of the round. That will tell how much power and accuracy it has
Bra video ;)
Finally a great review of the Sauer 404, thank you. I'd love to get more training done in Europe do you have any recommendation of places to go ? Thanks again for the review
Keep an eye on Zeiss and Leica, as I know they do some long range events for hunters as well!!!
Thanks will do
Great review. My credit card has threatened divorce if I buy this rifle.

What's Daffy Duck doing at 2.08/09 ?
👍👌
Hornady almost always shoots the best in all of my rifles.
I don’t know about Europe, but hornady is dirt cheap here in America.
How much $
+WhiteBoyWithAnIpod More than 4000$ for a 404 with a synthetic stock.
God damn I'm 14 that's bullshit 😄
