Blaser S2

About the Blaser

Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH was founded in 1957 by Horst Blaser in Isny im Allgäu, a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was then taken over in 1986 by the company’s master gunsmith, Gerhart Blenk. Since its beginning, the company has specialized in high-quality hunting rifles. In 1993, Blaser developed a straight-pull bolt-action hunting rifle, Blaser R93, with which they achieved great success in Europe. By 2016 – when the R93 model was discontinued and replaced by Blaser R8 – they had produced more than 200,000 R93 rifles. In 1997, they merged with Sigarms but remained autonomous in their rifle production, and in 1999 they began distribution of their rifles to the USA.

Blaser has revolutionized the way riflescopes are mounted on rifles by introducing a unique mounting system, called the Blaser Saddle. They were one of the first rifle manufacturing companies that introduced a barrel-mounting system. Most Blaser rifles are made with the same barrel mounting surface with four notches. Today, their rifle products include Blaser R8, combination guns, single-shot rifles, and shotguns. They have also started designing and producing binoculars in 2017, and telescopic and reflex sights in the year after that.

Blaser S2 Rifle Review

Blaser S2 is a break-barrel double side-by-side rifle/combination rifle that was introduced in 1999 and discontinued in the early 2010s. It features two triggers, each firing one barrel. Both triggers remain uncocked until the shooter uses the cocking slide on the neck of the stock to manually cock the. Because of this cocking system, the rifle does not require a separate safety mechanism to prevent accidental triggering, since the rifle can be put into "safe mode" simply by decocking it. The rifle is also automatically decocked when it is breeched. Blaser S2 comes in two versions: either as a double barrel rifle with two rifled barrels of the same or of different calibers; or as a combination gun with one shotgun barrel and one rifled barrel. As with every multi-barrel rifle, the non-primary barrel has to be regulated to have the same point of impact as the primary barrel at the zeroed distance. However, Blaser made this somewhat easier by equipping the non-primary barrels with screws that the user can turn to adjust the barrel without the help of a professional gunsmith.

Blaser S2 features a barrel-mounting system where the mounts are mounted directly on the barrel instead of on the receiver. All modern Blaser guns (repeating rifles, break-barrel rifles, combination rifles, express rifles ...) have the same four notches on the barrel. Thus the same mounts fit on all Blaser modern rifles. The only exception here are some red dot sight mounts that are made specifically for R8 or R93 -- these do not fit other Blaser rifles.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts

Two-piece mounts

For two-piece mounts to be interchangeable the mounting surfaces of the rifles must match in every dimension except the B dimension which can vary. This is because the distance between the two pieces of the mount is not fixed. Blaser rifles have a special Saddle mount mounting surface, making their mounts interchangeable with most of their rifles. The following rifles have interchangeable mounts:

One-piece mounts

The necessary condition for rifles to have one-piece mounts interchangeable is that the mounting surfaces of these rifles match in every dimension. Again, most Blaser rifles feature a special Saddle mount mounting surface, making their mounts interchangeable with most of their rifles. These are the following:

Important to note: once a mount for a Blaser rifle is mounted, it cannot be used on other Blaser rifle barrels – these mounts are designed so that they can only be used with one barrel. This means that you can use multiple optical sights on one Blaser barrel, but you cannot use one optic on multiple Blaser barrels.

Our recommendations for mounts

Detachable repeatable mounts

We recommend this 100% repeatable, reliable, and high-quality Saddle mount from Blaser.

Picatinny rails

For those who want to use a Picatinny rail, we recommend the Innomount Blaser Picatinny rail which is both reliable and sturdy.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you happen to own this or any other rifle, we would appreciate it if you could help us expand our database by sending us some photos of the rifle receiver (the bare mounting surface of the rifle without the mounts installed). For your help, our company offers a fair return in terms of practical rewards.
