If it's a vintage rifle, likely loss of some value and reduced ability to resell.

With any rifle possible regulation difficulty, this is not predictable.

Mount scope wrong, or mount the rifle wrong when you shoulder it

and get a hit in the eyebrow that will cut you good during recoil. 470's weigh

a good amount usually, scope attached add another 1.25 pounds or so to carry

in the AFRICAN heat for 10 hours a day.

Everything in the above post is true, or a definent posibility. However, there are legitimate reasons to scope a 470NE double rifle, if done properly. There are people who simply cannot shoot with aout a galss sight, because of eyesight problems, and then there are those who simply want a scope on all their rifles, regardless of size or type! I say it's your rifle, if you want a scope on it, do your thing!
