I do not know what other rifles you have, but it does not matter. If you scope you 9,3 Krieghoff it will probably become your favorite big game rifle under 40 cal.
I say this after using my Chapuis for the last 5 years.
You will not regret it. I would however be sure the scope is mounted as low as possible. My Chapuis double with the scope handles better than any other scoped rifle I have ever used. Neat, sweet.......petite.




450#2
You've hit the nail squarly on the head there!
I like the scope to be as low as possible too, and it really does make a medium cal double so much more versatile.

DBBill,
I scoped my 400-350 double a couple of years back and fitted a 2-1/2 power Leupold compact and set it up so low that there is just enough clearance for my thumb to work the top lever.
Makes a big difference if you have to shoot in low light when the bead can be hard to see.
99% of the time I shoot this rifle with open sights and only fit the detachable scope for special occasions.
It's very nice to have that option though.
