338x74R On my Chapuis, the Rifle was factory regulated with the iron sights. I have two scopes in rings for this rifle, one a Leupold 2.5-8 and a Swarovski 1.5-6x42, both in Chapuis Pivot mounts. With either scope the rifle regulates very well shooting as good as most bolt actions to 200 yards from field positions. I have taken a coyote at 271 yards, with witnesses on film, measured after the shot, and a Kudu at 300+ yards with witnesses also on film. If I had a double rifle that would not group both barrels together good enough for shots at animals at 200 yards I would sight in the scope for the most accurate barrel and use it like a single shot at that distance. Or if your rifle was like my Chapuis and you must fire the right bbl first to get good groups, then I would sight in the scope for the right bbl. I cannot understand why there is some resistance to using a scope on a double rifle. ![]() My Chapuis balances and handles better than any scoped bolt rifle. The stock is perfectly suited to scope use. I have made several shots on game with the 9,3 and scope that I would not even have attempted with iron sights. I can somewhat see how Ray might have some resistance, as he, like Methuselah, is 969 years in the past, but JOHAN is European, HE should know better. ![]() ![]() EVERY double 40 cal. and under should be fitted with a scope in QD mounts. |
