New Weatherny Vanguard S2

I got one in 257 WBY for Christmas, still in the process of putting it together (scope, rings, etc). Over all it fits very well and the trigger feels good. The inserts in the stock are a nice touch too. I handled the regular Vanguard and the Series 2 at the same time, hands down the S2 is a nice product!
 
I think mine was $599, which is the suggested retail on Weatherby's site. Its got a much nicer fit and finish to it compared to the standard Vanguard, it also has a 3 position safety compared to a 2 position on the regular version. Picked up Vanguard rings today so now its just a matter of finding a scope.
 
Haven't handled the S2, but in the last year i have bought a MKV .340 and a Vanguard sporter in .243. Very impressed with both and i am quickly becoming a weatherby fan. Got the Vanguard from WSS on sale for $450, I was very impressed with the trigger on the vanguard for a rifle in that price range. I don't think you will be let down.
 
I've got one in 7 08 on the way and am looking forward to it. I owned an older vanguard and it was alright but the trigger was so so. However, they seem to be better built than the average rifle in their price range.

Hoping the S2 is a step up.
