Re: New double, perhaps

What is your budget and what caliber would you like? Maybe we can give you some other options to think about.

One thing I don't like about the S2 is the barrel shroud. Seems like it would be a real pain to reload quickly which would be a huge con if you are going to hunt DG with it, which you are. Another con if you are hunting DG is the auto safety which I believe this one has (correct me if I am wrong). Those two things alone would make me look elsewhere.

Here are a couple ideas from a quick search of one dealer not far from the price of the Blaser that I would take a good look at;

These two would be my top choices:

Here are a few more that would serve your purposes admirably;

This Krieghoff comes with a scope but it is a 500 so, personally I would remove the scope, only problem is the recoil will be brisk because it is 10 pounds w/o scope;

Other choices to look at would be Heym, Merkel, Searcy or one of the many vintage brit rifles. All depends what your budget is and what you are looking for.
