I am sure I have read that you only sight the scope in for one barrel or the other but I can't for the life of me work out why.

Wouldn't it be better to shoot both barrels

Obviously yes.


Someone said if it doesn't regulate with both barrels with a scope attached, it needs to be re-regulated. I disagree. If it regulates just fine with open sights, but placing on a scope changes that, why mess up the open sight regulation? Use it as a single shot with the scope when needed, otherwise use it open sighted as it is meant to be used.

As an illustration. I am not confident shooting my .450 at longer ranges. However if I could shoot it at say 250 metres as a scope sighted single shot it makes it a lot more versatile. BTW it is NOT fitted for scope mounts anyway.

I think a scope and open sighted lighter weight double which regulates for both, in .375 and/or .400 is definitely an extremely versatile rifle and well worth having.
