You ALWAYS need to remove the moderator when storing the rifle. There has been several cases of Blaser R9 silence owners that has had rust develop on the barrel.
Not removing it risks condensation to get stuck and that causes problems.
Good advice for all rifles with moderators no matter what brand.I was taught to store them barrel downwards due to any gun oil residue ruining timber stocks including shotguns. 🙂
That's a very good point. I always remove my mods and give them a quick spray with Napier Silensave.
Removing that setup looks like a pain in the royal.
Lol... irrelevant anyway as I wouldn't hand over 8k for carbon fibre rifle any more than I hand over 8k for a latest huge new screen TV. My wife would kill me 🤣
It'll be a cracking bit of engineering I'm sure, but 15 years from now it'll likely look dated rather than classic.
watch the video, it just unscrews like most other sound moderators do so really no problem at all?
@@chrisparkin431 Yes my comment was a general one. Seen cases where r8 silence owners, a similar system, has gotten rust on the barrel due to never removing the moderator. The ignorance people have is quite impressive considering the investment - how much is a r8? 75k euro?
Beautiful piece of gear! Thank you. During shooting, did the fore-end undo itself, or did you maybe forget to tighten the screw?
I forgot
The front stock is loose at 3min shooting
Definitely want to know why you don't clean moderators unless you have to? Also great video! Your reviews are by far the best on UA-cam.
An exert from the written review I wrote about this gun...
"Cleaning sound moderators is a polarising topic, some like them left alone until they virtually rot, whereas others want to remove them every time and clean them back to bare metal where possible. Personally, unless there is a specific corrosion issue likely, I tend to leave them alone for the simple `if it’ ain’t broke, I don’t fix it`, and have never had a modern one rot from gunshot residue within. I ALWAYS remove my moderators after use to avoid condensation issues with moisture and of course that gunshot residue can retain moisture but one fact I will say is that mods that can be dismantled, can have loose components and if they `rattle` on firing, you can forget your consistent harmonics for reliable precision. I would also add that on a couple of mods that `did` rattle, they stopped once the gas and soot inside locked them up nice and solid and never gave another day’s hassle. Like everything, there are many pros and cons to alternate choices, but these are mine. DO, make sure the barrel’s muzzle threads are clean though, a seized moderator is a major hassle and old steel mods like the Br Tuote T8’s for example would rot whatever you did! Huge gaseous clouds belching out of mods are a sure sign of `cold bore` zero that is unlikely to hit the spot, even if you can see it afterwards."
From 2.50- 3.10 it appears the rifle has become detached from the fore end. You can see under recoil the movement and separation between the two. Is this a common occurrence?
You have very keen eyes, I had not noticed but you are correct, I must't have left it loose when i was adjusting the trigger weight up and down for that scene. Are you in the UK, if so you win a random special prize of an MTM wind flag! Message me
Length of the barrel? There seem to be two different versions. Thank you
Dry nice great review roll on the lottery win
We can't use suppressor in Cansda 😢.
Thank you for an educational video, sir.
From the look of it, it invites to a comparrison to the Steyr SM12 Carbon Breeze. Of the two, SM12 and 404, which action do you prefer? Thank you kindly in advance.
Sauer
Thank you kindly.@@chrisparkin431
Hi Chris. Looking at the scenes where you were actually shooting this firearm, did you experience ANY form of recoil from this rifle? It looks like you were shooting 22lr or like 50gr bullets😂😂. How would you compare this 308's recoil against other 308's you've shot? Regards.
Moderators reduces recoil, it's not particularly featherweight and has good stick ergonomics which all contribute to the rifle's character. The shorter barrel also generates correspondingly less muzzle energy/momentum to start with.
@@chrisparkin431 Awesome, thanks for the response. Lastly, Sauer makes a 101 GTI Silence, which is basically the wooden stock in this shape, together with the more budget friendly 101 rifle instead of 404. PLEASE try to get your hands on one them for a good, in-depth review, like this one. Regards👍🏻🤝🏻
Could you please tell me what rifle sling is on that 404.
Great video thanks 😊 👍

I’m sorry Chris did you say £8,000 😮. It’s a beautiful gun. It’s easy to tell you like it because you’re grin scale was at least a 9 😂.
Boa tarde qual a precisão desse 308
Whoop🎉
Dear Sir. How many people do you know who will go to brush forrest with $12K rifle setup ?????
Enough that Sauer can justify directing products to a predicted marketplace. It's partly so expensive because it is unusual and desirable without economy of scale to make it cheaper.
The problem with some of the European rifle manufacturers if they think their products are so much better than anything else in the price point and reflects it you can do the same with an $800 Tikka
You can do the same with a Hi Point that you can with an HK also. But is that the point?
Agreed💯😂
Sauer 404 is a good example. You are paying at least 1000 E for the brand name. It is 4 to 5 000 E aluminum receiver rifle that is not better than Danish Schultz & Larsen Victory that is steel receiver and button rifling barrel. So something easier to make is way more expensive than something harder to make.
@@Republikaner1944 is aluminum not lighter weight?
@@Hialeah1925 It is but I personally do not mind hauling more pounds over the mountains. Got used to it through hiking.
It looks like sako s twenty.
Only that it's totally different in almost revery way
Unbelievable... you didn't use 308 subsonic ammunition in this rifle to show how well this suppressor works lol. Big mistake.
I do not like ALL the ADVERTS ??
You can have videos without adverts if you want to pay for UA-cam membership, videos don't fund themselves sadly
