Thanks all. I did speak to Merkels gunsmith the other day about the 30mm rings and during the conversation, he did mention to shoot the front trigger first because that is how it was regulated. I wish I had asked him explain that further, but didn't. Since is the wife's (and mine) first double rifle, she will shoot it front first so she gets used to it. So far she is sighted in at 50 yards and it in the bull out to 200 (with the right barrel, left was just into the black. At 50 yards she is in the bull with the right and left is about 1.5" high, right. She loves it.
