A good buddy of mine has a 470 Chapuis, with a Swarovski, the one you like, in Claw mounts.

I have shot it. It is a slick rig.

The beauty of a scope in claw mounts, is that when you need/want it it is there, when you don't, it is not.

I have killed several elephant, all with iron sights. I have also killed several cape buff, all but one with iron sights.

The one I took with a scope was at last light in heavy cover with heavy shadow. The range was @60 yards. If I had not had my Swaro scope, with the illuminated reticle, turned on, I doubt I could have made the shot.

PS even if you go to Africa, have the scope, and do not use it, it will be

1. A comfort knowing it is avialable if needed.

2. Really handy for wild pigs.

If Aleko at Heritage Arms cannot fit the Chapuis Claw mounts check with JJ Perodeau, at Champlinarms in Enid Oklahoma.

The Claw Mounts are worth every penny.
