So I just traded for a DD M4V9 S2W. I've always admired the MK12, so I've decided to slap on a 2.5x10 scope on it. I've already placed a sopmod buttstock on it and I'll put my preferred geiselle trigger in it (I like the super dynamic-enhanced) and my Harris bipod. Basically, an outward appearing old MK12 with a longer rail. While watching a video, it stated that the DD MK12 was DD's intro into the precision rifle market. So, my question is: is the S2W version going to perform as well as the Mk12? Any and all insight will be much appreciated. Does anybody own both? Are the differences subjective? Or does the Mk12 truly offer more than the heavy 42 ounce?) barrel on my weapon.

To my knowledge the stainless barrel on the mk12 is only available on the mk12. On the other hand I am going to wager that the chf s2w barrel is going to out perform most making it a great cadidate for a RECCE style rifle.

Ok thanks for the response. Every DD rifle I've ever handled has been really light. Then I traded for this with a buddy and wow! You can really feel the weight in the 42 ounce barrel. My BCM is super light with a BFH 16 inch 22 ounce barrel. Long story short, I figure with the right glass it'll make a beautiful Longer range rifle. I'll be sure to post some pics once I've put some nice glass on it.

I've had my M4V9 S2W since right after they came out.  I use it deer hunting.  Even with my astigmatism, I can shoot a sub MOA group most of the time using a Nikon AR scope.

Ok thanks, exactly the feedback I was hoping to get from both replies. I need to get out and shoot it and find out for myself!!!
