LRS2 actually... the Tactical is a whole different animal, despite the looks.

Well, not really... just a different method of scope mounting, brake, and a few "tactical" additions like the rear monopod. Otherwise, on spec, identical rifles. The LRS2 seems the better value, but I haven't owned both. If you have more insight I've missed, I'm interested to hear as I'm by no means an authority on both.

As a matter of fact, the rear monopod and other "accessories"/"additions" are pretty much the only interchangeable parts. The Tactical's stock won't accept any other R93 barrels, whereas mine can (i.e. I can take a 270 Win. from an R93 Offroad and slap it onto my stock, change the bolt head and voilà: strange looking deer rifle). On the other hand, I can't take a Tactical 2 barrel and put it on my stock; the mounting points aren't spaced the same as the captive bolts that accept them. On top of that, the Tactical 2 is designed to handle the .338 LM, whereas the LRS2 isn't, which explains the lack of barrel interchangeability (safety).

You are right about the scope mounting: Tactical 2 has a Picatinny rail integrated atop the barrel at a 10 MOA taper, whereas the LRS2 accepts only saddle mounts, so any tapers have to be a custom job (as was my case).

I imagine this cleared things up.
 
You're welcome, and I forgot to add yet another significant difference between the LRS2 and Tactical 2: a whopping 1200$ more for the latter!!! The word "Tactical" makes things expensive on both sides of the Atlantic.
