Well, I'm not in agreement.

I think that scope is not out of place. It is proportional to the rifle. If it had a great big 50mm objective, then it would be disproportional and ugly.

The mounts are Holland & Holland's own mounting system and entirely appropriate. What would you prefer, a Recnkagel pivot mount? That would be an abomination.

So I don't get it. If you like a H&H rifle and you want a scope, this is the proper mount.

Perhaps you would like it better if the scope had a straight tube?

Same mounting system here, different scope.
