I have 2 round action Chapuis with extra 28 gauge BBLs. One in 30/30 and the other in 7X57R , they both have scopes . I shoot the 28 gauges a lot (300 to 400 rounds a month on clays). and the 30/30 is my go to gun at our ranch. Never had any trouble with the combination. I would be hard pressed to have a better setup.
