If I had a set of young eyes the Double would be great to 100+ yds. As I have gotten older the eyes have gone south and my focal length is past my arms. YES,THIS IS REALLY CRAPPY!!

A scope seems to compensate for this problem at distance.I am much more accurate with my big Bolt guns at 75 yds than my 470 Merkel(recoil seems similar). At close range with a double I hope I can be disciplined and practice quicker and more effective reflexive shooting than with the scoped 416.The closer the target the more the Double rules!!
