Well chuck, my friend, I got rid of my S2 just exactly for the reasons you mentioned. That was over four years ago. Looks like the manufacturer hasn't changed one bloody thing.

BTW; Be careful what you play with with the bbl. open. That little steel block inside the action can, and will, drop out with little effort. Hell of a thing to have happen with a buffalo on the barrels!

I'm back to using my Ruger #1; accurate as hell, and usually one shot does the job.

If Blasers were free, I'd use a Baikal!
