I think there is nothing wrong with scoping a double, say in 375 H&H (Flanged) or a lesser caliber. I'm contemplating a second rifle in that caliber configuration. I own a 450NE Verney and in that caliber I would not consider scoping. Also the guys at Verney say the prefer to regulate WITH the scope on. jorge

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
