Sauer SASA1226CBFBOS SL-5 Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3.5" 3+1 26", Brown Cerakote Barrel/Rec, Fred Bear Old School Camo Furniture, LPA Front Sight, 5 Ext. Chokes Included

The Sauer SASA1226CBFBOS SL-5 Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3.5" semi-automatic shotgun is purpose-built for serious waterfowl hunters seeking reliable field performance in demanding conditions. Built on an inertia-driven operating system, this 26-inch shotgun combines a chrome-lined barrel with a steel upper receiver for corrosion resistance and durability in wet, salt-laden environments typical of offshore and coastal hunting operations. The aluminum lower receiver keeps overall weight to 6 lbs, reducing fatigue during extended hunting days without sacrificing strength or balance.

The 3.5-inch chamber handles heavy waterfowl loads, while the stepped rib and LPA front sight support fast target acquisition in low-light dawn and dusk conditions common to duck hunting seasons. The shotgun ships with five extended choke tubes, allowing shooters to optimize patterns for varying distances and shot sizes—critical for ethical, humane harvests. The Brown Cerakote barrel and receiver finish provides durable corrosion protection, while the Fred Bear Old School Camo furniture blends seamlessly in marsh and timber environments. The 3+1 capacity meets practical hunting scenarios where quick follow-up shots may be necessary on multiple birds.

This semi-automatic platform is ideal for waterfowl hunters who prefer the handling speed and reduced recoil of inertia-driven systems over pump or gas-operated alternatives. The combination of extended chokes, sighting options, and camouflage furniture means the shotgun is ready for field use out of the box, requiring no additional modifications for typical duck hunting applications. Sauer's reputation for shotgun engineering translates to reliable cycling across various ammunition weights and shot types encountered in real-world waterfowl seasons.
