Thanks for good advice, point taken

I'll stick to a caliber with "insurance".

I'll se what can be done to the sights on it, otherwise I might see if I can swap it into a Heym PH in .400 class with a scope..
I don't want to take the additional cost of new stocking and a claw mount due to very nice wood and regulation on this rifle. It would not fit at all if I put on a scope, beeing rather low already..

Does anyone know if the standard stock on the PH is higer or lower at the comb than the standard "straight" stock which I have on my Merkel?
I haven't had the pleasure of handling one yet.
