[QUOTE="earlcurtis67, post: 919727, member: 47174"] While the MOA guarantee is attractive I don't think that its real world because we are never gonna shoot the ammo that the factory did to confirm. I believe that the "range certified" rifles were S-2s that shot better on average and then put in a different stock. maybe I worded that wrong but you get the gist of it. For the time being at least, Im gonna leave the stock alone. It is shooting pretty good in it stock form, like montana rifle man, when I feel the need I'm gonna restock with a quality alum. bedded stock. My s-2 is a 25-06, it shoots two different factory loads a little more than MOa, and the hand loads that I'm now working on are below moa.The trigger on my rifle is set at its lowest point which I believe is in the 3 lb range and crisp. I've heard people complain about the S-2s trigger, if you're unfortunate enough to get a bad trigger, there are affordable aftermarket ones out there to be had. What attracted me to the the S-2 was I could get a 24" barrel for a 25-06. Mine doesn't seem to be any thicker than My 700 .270, .626 at the muzzle. as for weight, with a 4x12 scope its over 8lbs. The finish on the barrel and action is nice, but not shiny, don't be expecting a finish like whats on you're A bolt. I'm very pleased with my S-2, so much so when I decide on a magnum caliber I will buy another S-2. I will try to post a pic of mine after a recent paint job [/QUOTE]
