I once heard a well-known London gunmaker:
"We don't recommend scopes on double rifles with recoil above .375 H&H Magnum. Acording to Murphy's law every double rifle, no matter how well made, will double one day. If this happens with a scoped .470, you are in real trouble!"
I have been told the same but it can still happen with a .375, I tried to take a shot at a good croc in Mozambique with my .375 from a very awkward position, result, missed shot and claret all over my face much to my camermans´ amusement. I still have the scar. Also, exit pupil only has to be 5mm, no adults over about 30 years old can get any bigger so those chaps advertising huge exit pupils are really only for the younger chaps and then max is 7mm
