John

I recently scoped one of my doubles, a British 450/400 3 1/4". I have had the rifle for several years. I wish I had scoped it the day I bought it. It has a S&B 1-4 with the illuminated Flashdot reticle.

I have taken deer, several pigs, black bear, 2 caribou, cape buff and bull elephant with iron sights. With the scope I have taken baboon, warthog, zebra, and lion.

I consider the scoped [with QD mounts] 400 double to be the best all round African DG rifle.

On a 450 to 470 double if I needed "help" with iron sights I would have a rear claw base with an Ernst Apel base and a Docter Optic red dot sight.

In the field the only thing that matters is proper shot placement.
