Hello Hoser,

The title question was pretty cut and dry but then the body of the post went into that subjective zone. I was just wondering, based on the rest of the post, if this was something you wanted to know out of idle curiosity or perhaps you are struggling with the idea of mounting a scope on a classic? I'm pretty picky about good original condition stuff, on the collector end of things - older guns, so if the piece didn't already have bases on it I wouldn't add any, that's just me. Anyway, would a scope mess up the balance, not IMHO. As to the bolt rifle thing, many have already shared my sentiments on the scope deal as a necessity if ones eyes "ain't what they used to be". It really doesn't matter at that point if it's a bolt or a double. I don't have any QD systems on any of my bolt guns, can't really say why not though. As to the 9.3X74R being a "shorter range cartridge", you certainly won't be hearing the folks from the Best of the West touting the use of the 9.3X74R for any of their 800 to 1000 yard sniper action. While interesting in many technical ways I find that show ... frick'n goofy, at least if one has any hunting skills at all. I would imagine all this probably answers your last question too.

Anyway, I was just wondering what you were up to. Did you already buy or are you looking to buy a 9.3X74R double? If you did or you do, by all means let us see it.

Regards,

Buchseman
