Sorry to disappoint you 400 but I DO have experience with both and more so. As to liking inexpensive (to differentiate between CHEAP and INEXPENSIVE) I see little reason to pay big bucks to just pay big bucks. I have a little knowledge of guns and African hunting and while it probably doesn't compare with yours I think it's pretty accurate. I know the popular feeling is if a double isn't English and cost big bucks by a big name maker it is of inferior standing in the realm of DGR's. Claw mounts require more fitting because there is no manufacturer who builds to any standard so produces a product that MUST be hand fit. This is ineptness to the highest degree by those manufacturers. If watchmakers that make high quality watches such as Rolex,Breitling,Baume & Mercier, Omega and others can mass produce them in the millions it stands to reason that gun parts can be mass produced with equal precision if the market is there. Incidentally these watches are neither inexpensive OR cheap. MAK seems to be able to do it with pivot mounts and it could as easily be done with claw mounts if the market existed. ANY scope mount that costs over $500 in my estimation is NOT inexpensive although that does not gaurantee it's not CHEAP. I just become weary of the elitist attitude of a number of Double Gun owners. Now let the fire fight begin.
