I've owned two Blaser S2 double rifles. Both have been returned to the factory.

1. The 500/416 broke its forend within 4 shots. It would not chamber any other ammo in the right barrel other than WR. Blaser had it two times and never got it right

Sounds like the rim seat was out of spec (not deep enough). I know of another S2 in .500/.416 that froze shut on firing. The quality just isn't there.

As I said before, the Chapuis is a better rifle. From your description, given the model I think you got and where you got it, yeah, it's a good price. I like their 9.3's better than the .470 in terms of handling characteristics, but they're decent rifles for the price, and they usually shoot well. I don't think you'll be disappointed in it.
