450 NE No2,

I have zero desire to scope my 458. If I had a 375 FM though, It would have a 1.5x6x42 illumintaed reticle scope in claw mounts and a lace on or slip on or velcro on comb.

BTW, I shot a 4 1/4" klipspringer at 75yds with my double way back on the south east side of Chewore, far beyond the last road.

Rusty,

10lbs of rifle ought to be a heck of alot more rifle than a 450/400 in my opinion. That weight is 450/470 territory. 9lbs-9 1/2lbs, that would be 450/400 territory for me, preferably 9lbs. (Weights without scopes.)
