Good on you . The S2 is very unique double, and the ability to adjust the barrels is bloody fantastic.

Congratulations on your purchase. Any chance you know where a person could find a barrel set for a Blaser S2? Preferably 500-416 or 500ne.

I was invited by Bruce Betram for dinner last night with blaser buds Dave. After a tour of his collection including a stuffed giraffe I bought enough 500 NE cases and projectiles for the best price in the world to last me another 5 years.
