The Sauer SL-5 Waterfowl delivers reliable cycling and enhanced concealment for serious waterfowl hunters. This semi-automatic shotgun combines German engineering with purpose-built features that perform in harsh wetland conditions. The brown Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance while the Fred Bear Old School camo pattern breaks up the gun's outline in natural environments.
What Makes This Different
The SL-5 platform utilizes an inertia-driven operating system that functions reliably with both light target loads and heavy 3.5-inch magnum shells. Unlike gas-operated alternatives that require frequent cleaning in dirty conditions, the inertia system runs cleaner with fewer moving parts. The brown Cerakote barrel and receiver finish offers 1,200+ hours of salt spray resistance, significantly outperforming standard bluing or parkerizing treatments.Key Features
