S2in470
I am a big fan of the Blaser R 93 and of the K 95 Stutzen, which has the same basic mechanism as the S2, only one bbl.
Every Blaser I have shot has been very accurate. Their scope mount always goes back to zero, always.
All Blaser products are New Technology, and that turns some people off. The S2 doubles do look and operate different.
Modern cars look and operate different from cars built in the 1920's.
I have handled several S2's and they fit me good, better than some of the other new made doubles.
Their main critisism is their cocking mechanism which must be recocked after shooting and breaking open the rifle.
My K 95 operates the same way. After you get used to it you should not have a problem.
Think of the S2 as a Hammer Double that has a "button" that when you push it it cocks BOTH hammers.
I bet Samuel Baker and Edouard Foa would have liked that feature on their doubles.

I would definately work up some light bullet loads and use a scope with them. What could be a better rifle for lion, leopard, black bear over bait, pigs etc. than a scoped 470 with 350 grain bullets at @ 2350 fps.
The locking mechanism of the S2 just might be the strongest of any double rifle.

They have the perfect companion to your S2 at Rays Sporting Goods in Dallas on Singleton Blvd. It is a Blaser double rifle drilling in 9,3x74R X 9,3x74R X 20ga.
Those 2 rifles would make a great combo.

I would like to have 375 H&H double just to test the "rimless" rounds in a double myself. I just might have to get a S2 in 375 H&H, scope it and break all the traditional double rifles rules.

That H&H S2 would probably make one first class all round hunting rifle.
