There was quite a hype about the Sauer 505 last year but it seems to have completely vanished. Did anybody purchase one? if so, what's your opinion? I am particularly interested in the Lux version.
I have had the opportunity to handle one in-store and, if choosing between the two, I would prefer the Sauer 404 in its steel configuration. In my opinion, the overall quality of the S505 is not particularly impressive with a lot of plastic bits. E.g., the magazin rattles when moving the rifle:
