Re: Scoping a .470 NE?

That is good to know. The actual comment was that if I installed Claw Mounts on the rifle, you would not be able to see the current sights on the gun because they were too low and the claw mounts would be too high to use them without them being raised once they were installed. The gun fits me very well and comes right to sight when I bring it up. I can close my eyes, bring the rifle to shoulder, open my eyes, and I am lined up perfectly. I made sure of this prior to purchasing the rifle. That was one of the reasons I did not get the Krieghoff. It just did not line up for me or feel correct for my body build. I will be looking at the Heym at SCI before I add sights etc to this rifle to ensure that I do not want to upgrade to that rifle first. Unfortunately, that will mean that I do not send it out for work till after SCI which could be a big mistake with all the orders that will probably go through at the event. I really do not think that I will make the change to the heym because I have shot the rifle and it shoots well and fits me well. Also, I am just too partial to upgraded wood and fancy scroll on the guns and mine is beautiful with upgrades to both. The Heym PH would just not satisfy those cravings I have for aesthetics so I would need to purchase the 88B professional hunter. This would mean several thousand additional dollars to upgrade to the Heym and I am very happy with the Chapuis thus far.
