I think you can already shoot all you want with your Double but on that thread you started on AR I think you fell into the trap of trying to do a techical analysis of "why the Double was adequate"

You know it is all quite funny really...crocodiles were shot to near extinction, mostly spotlight shooting with 303 and open sights. These days someone could not even imagine spotlight shooting without a scope.

Of all the millions of kangaroos that have been shot in Australia...most will have been in the spotlight with open sights These days it would be seen as impossible.

I am probably fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on the view point

) that my age, experience and interests have allowed me to overlap much of the shooting, at least in Australia.

In my opinion the bottom line is that we had a better "hits to shots fired..ratio" many many years ago.
