J.P. Sauer & Sohn has introduced the latest addition to its flagship S404 series: the Synchro XTC carbon-fiber, bolt-action rifle in camouflage green. Tipping the scales at 6.1 lbs., the rifle boasts a hand-laid, carbon-fiber stock with a thumbhole and an adjustable comb. The cold-hammer-forged barrel is fluted for balance and additional weight reduction. An adjustable trigger features four different pull weights—from 1.2 lbs. to 2.7 lbs.—easily changed using the settings marked by Roman numerals just above the trigger.

“The Sauer 404 is the finest traditional bolt-action rifle engineered today,” said Jason Evans, CEO of Blaser Group. “The elegance, craftsmanship, precision and modularity of the S404 line is legendary, incorporating nearly 270 years of knowledge with 21st Century technology. The Synchro XTC camo green gives hunters yet another option in our popular flagship line.”

S404 rifles are designed and engineered to allow easy changing of bolt heads and barrels for quick caliber conversions. This modularity is an advantage for those who frequently travel to hunt. The S404 Synchro XTC is available in all current calibers in the S404 series.
