At 150+, you will want a scope. A scoped double will cost more although for the one barrel sighted in, should be nearly as accurate to 150. The second barrel will have to be re-regulated for that distance, and I am not aware that any mfg is doing that, unless you contact Merkel to see if their gunsmith can regulate on of their 141s with the adjustable barrel feature for that range. (They offer it in 30-06 and in 9.3X74R, which should work for most Western game at 150. They also offer a scope mount for a reasonable price.)

Now, go ahead guys, give me some grief on this, but remember, I love DRs too, but for what he is thinking about, a bolt will work better for less.

Just my opinion. Dave

No grief, but only a friendly correction!

The rifle should be regulated Physicly for the round you intend useing, in the normal manner with is:

With your iron sights on the point of aim, the right barrel should hit, slightly on the right of point of aim, and the left barrel printing, slightly on the left of point of aim, regardless of distance. The center of each of these two individual barrel groups, should be close enough to the center of the other barrel's group, to form a workable composit group of both barrels with the POA in the center of the composit group. This is proper regulation, and the barrels are shooting paralell.

NOW!, the scope is mounted in the QD rings & bases, Now clamp the barrel set in a vice, with the iron sights on the POA in the center of the composit group. While the barrels are being held, look through the scope and adjust the scope to cross hair exactly on the point of aim. Now replace the barrels on the rifle, and adjust the scope to the DISTANCE you want the scope to zero. In this case 150 yds. The windage is already set, but if you limit your iron sight shooting to 100 yds, and you want the scope zeroed at 150 yds, then set the scope high enough it will print on POA at 150 yds! Not magic, just different!
