Maybe some of you consider that the only way to install a scope on a H&H are the H&H mounts. I have see quite a number of them over their rifles. Probably they are very strong, but ugly as hell.
IMHO a properly installed Suhler claw mounts are at least as strong and much prettier.
I like much more the British style of double rifles; but regarding scope mounts (and not only for doubles) I agree with Kuduae; they look as if designed by a heavy tool engineer!

I'm with Curl on this one, H&H is the proper mount. I also don't mind the larger scope if it is a flat shooting cartridge. The AKAH mounts are my favorite on any other double.Below is a H&H rook converted to 22 Hornet with a Zeiss Diopi. Just couldn't justify either of the above mounts. [image][/image] [image]

IMHO the classic 4x Zeiss "Diatal" with a 26 mm tube on the top rifle is much less disgusting than the modernistic Kahles variable with it's 30 mm tube and clumsy magnification ring on the lower one. . .

Kudae, my friend, you normally are spot-on with your observations, but here have mis-identified the optic.

The rifle is fit with a 1.25 x 4 Schmidt & Bender 30mm tube scope set in H&H quick detachable mounts. Correct identification of the scope doesn't change its appearance. If you don't like the looks of it this makes no difference.

I think if a double rifle has a scope, this is a pretty good choice. JMHO!
