Title: RS II vs Blizzard S10
Post by: TleVta on December 22, 2016, 09:45:30 PM
Dumb question: what's the difference? I see they're both offered in .30. They look the same in the photos.

I tried to find out the same thing before ordering my RS II.  I know that the Blizzard is several years older than the RS II, just from the google search that I did.  Also the last few RS II's that were shipped by PA came with a Thumbhole stock instead of the standard stock.  I don't know why???  Hopefully Manny will see this thread and shed some light on any differences in the two models.  I figured the  RS II was slightly newer and maybe had a few improvements over the Blizzard....

Mechanically those guns are just the same. Blizzards get improvements just as well as they happen like angle drilled valve housing port. Stock is slightly different and IIRC Blizzard might have 1" longer barrel.

According to the spec sheet on the RS II it has a 20" barrel, IIRC the .22 and .25 are shorter barrels.

Blizzard .357 barrel is about 21.5" long.

That barrel length info for Blizzard is not correct. My barrel is about 545mm long.

I agree, 545mm I have two barrels, from different blizzards couple years apart.
