I owned one in the configuration you are considering, and it was an excellent drilling. It had a 3X12 Docter Optics in claw mounts and was an early 1980s gun. My only objection with the gun was that it was very heavy. I used it in Africa once and found it up to the task. It shot factory 285gr RWS ammo like it was made for the gun. The stock cracked at the wrist, and I had it repaired and reinforced; it was my one problem with the drilling.

You won't go wrong with one, in my opinion. I wish I hadn't parted with mine...
