Getting them to shoot well enough for hunting purposes is not an issue... I do not like how they handle, at all. And that is based on a lot of experience with a lot of different actions performing the same task with a lot more grace. And doing it with even less weight.


I understand your point of view, but the OP wasn't asking about other actions/rifles. I'm simply pointing out that there is a lighter alternative within the S2 line and, as you can see, it shoots considerably better than "well enough." I have no issues with how it handles -- and neither do all the people who have tried to buy that rifle from me. You don't like it, and that's fine. Different strokes for different folks.

If you're fixin' to put a hole in something,
make it a hole to remember.
