I have had the oppertunity to handle 2 different Blaser double rifles, both 470's. I must admit they handled and felt good. The sights were perfectly aligned when the rifles were shouldered.
I could live with the manual cocking system, on this rifle or the Krieghoff....but when you break open the rifle it automatically uncocks, with a loud click. Pity. For the price it would be a nice rifle. Also this is one rifle that just might hold up to 375 H&H pressures, as the locking mechanism is the same as on the single shot K 95. The double takes the same scope mount as all ther other rifles, which is a big plus in my book. It comes in a very nice aluminium hard case that has room for 2 sets of rifle bbls, 2 scopes, and a set of shotgun bbls.
This store has sold both of these rifles so maybe I will be able to get some feed back on how well the free float bbl system shoots.
One think I should mention is that the bottom bbl rib is a piece of rubber. Obivously there for cosmetic reasons. "NEW TECHNOLOGY" for sure.

Blaser rifles seem to appeal to those buyers looking for something new and diferent. I suspect that many, if not most, double rifle buyers like the look and feel of classic British rifles. Too bad someone hasn't found a way to produce such a rifle at a really attractive price.

Tony, the Blaser S2 is Junk, no way around it. I bought the Krieghoff
