Given that the 470 is not a long range rifle would you shoot a 458 or a 458 Lott with open sights at distances that you would not shoot your 470? If your 470 had a scope would you shoot at the same distances as you would a 458 with a scope?

Mickey,

No I would not shoot my .458 at any distance further then the .470 . I simply think of these calibers as DG rounds and I don't want a wounded buff running around I tried to take at 300yards with any open sighted or scoped rifle of that caliber. I think a double in 375FM with a scope would be good to the longer ranges your speaking of, I have never shot one of these so I do not know but I see no reason why they would be less the adequate for medium game at range. As for me I shoot my big boar bolt tighter at 100 then my double, but both are more then accurate at 100 for killing game shots on DG.
