This week, we’re taking a closer look at the J.P. Sauer & Sohn 505 Synchro XT—an eye-catching rifle from one of Europe’s oldest and most storied gunmakers.
The new XT (X-Treme) is CVA’s precision-oriented rifle in the company’s popular Cascade rifle series, and boasts several features that make it an ideal multipurpose hunting rifle.
For more than 200 years, J.P. Sauer & Sohn has manufactured premium-tier rifles and shotguns—at premium tier prices. Fortunately the German manufacturer saw fit to provide the American market with a high-quality, bolt-action rifle that will maintain its heritage over time at a price U.S. consumers can appreciate.
Overall, in fit and finish you'll find the Sauer 100 Classic XT at or near the top of the budget bolt-rifle class. It’s atop the price ladder, too, but if you want Sauer precision, you won’t find it for any less.
Serving as one of the most accessorized Defender Max models, the Defender Max XT starts at an MSRP of $17,199. That’s no small chunk of change, but you’re not getting a small return, either—literally or figuratively. The Defender Max XT combines power and comfort in a way not often seen in the OHV marketplace.
Just in time for the cold and wet seasons, Dryshod has introduced a new set of insulated, fully waterproof boots. Termed the NoSho Gusset XT, these boots were developed to handle cold and wet hunting conditions in comfort.
