    Sauer SL-5 (inertia driven)

    I’m in the market for a versatile semi-auto 12ga. shotgun. I spent a decade with a Super Black Eagle without trouble. In my recent research I’ve stumbled across this Saur. I think this is a handsome blend of modern with traditional elements. I really like the slight Mannlicher stock treatment.

    The history and quality of this company speaks for itself, but I have never really considered Saur before. Now the interesting part. According to the review (embedded here) these were selling for $1899.00 a few years ago but can now be had for $799.00. Anyone have any experience with these, or impressions?

    This article says it's a Breda action. Where did you see them $799?

    I just checked guns.com (whose's youtube review I watched) and they don't have them in stock. My gun store guy is going to check around today, but I don't have too much hope. Does RSR or Davidsons deal in J.P. Sauer &Sohn?

    As to the Breda action, I found this clarification from a Shotgun LIfe article "The new gun was designed in conjunction with Italian gunmaker Breda and features the legendary Breda inertia action reloading system that was perfected by Italian inventor Bruno Civolani."


    While writing this, I think I found one for $1000.00
