I have never liked having a scope stick out over the thumb lever on a double rifle so I started thinking about using a scout scope or a pistol scope for their long eye relief. Has anyone tried this?

Not so much a scout scope, but folks are starting to utilize the newer dot or small holographic sights. With a big bore double, you don't need magnification as much as you need a fast, clear sight picture, something that becomes more difficult with age and open sights. Also, the smaller sights, like the Docter or Zeiss, don't disturb the lines or balance of a double as much as a scope would. | |||

The properly balanced rifle would have to be negatively affected by having the weight of a scope attached to the bbls where scout scopes are usually situated I would think. Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Some of the small Holo sights like the Docter, weigh but a few OZ. If you could mount in the dovetail of the rear sight, like some have done and shown on this site, it would probably be the best bet. | |||

I was wanting something with some magnification as my eyes are not what they used to be. As I understand it these HOLO sights don't magnify. Is that correct? Thanks.

I put a Burris Scout scope on my double, but it is just a tad too far back. The eye relief need to be just 1" shorter. | ||

I just got a 9.3x74R I was thinking of scoping. I also have a .470 that I took to Zim two years ago that I would not scope as I feel that is a close up rifle. T think the 9.3 can reach out beyond my naked eye abilities so I am considering a scope for it.

What brand & caliber is your double with the burris and how did you mount it. When the buffalo are gone we will hunt mice, for we are hunters, and we want our freedom---Sitting Bull .470 Chapuis double; 9.3x74R Mathelon triple; 30-06 Winchester O/U | |||

I have a Swarovski 1.5to6x42 scope on my Chapuis 9,3x74R. I have taken game to 300 yards with it. Works perfect. The scope does not interfere with the thumb lever or with reloading. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I have a Swaro 1,25-4x24 on my FN-Browning O/U in 9,3x74R. Very fast and efficient for drive hunting were all shots are taken on the run. André DRSS --------- 3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact. 5 shots are a group. | |||
