Double Rifles
"The chap with a double rifle in his hands becomes for the moment a white hunter."
Jack O'Connor,
The Hunting Rifle 1970.

Double Rifles come in two basic configurations:

"Thee" Side by Side & The Over and Under

Like double barrel shotguns, the arguments run about the same - sxs vs. o/u. However, the advantages of a double rifle over a magazine/action rifle are well documented.

Two triggers, two barrels, two bullets - a must for dangerous game.
Two triggers, two barrels, two different bullets - a must for versatility.
Overall length is 5" shorter.
Lighter and Better Balance.
No Mechanical action to learn.
No Mechanical action to jam.
No Mechanical action to clean.
Safe loading and unloading.
Easy inspection of bores and barrels.
The double will continue to be life insurance on dangerous game - Jack O'Connor, 1970.

Optics on a Double Rifle?

In my opinion - YES!

Dangerous Game:

Enough Said!

Long Range

SXS - The argument against optics on a Side by Side is the so-called windage problem. Some recommend to only sight-in on one barrel - but this now reduces your very expensive double to a single shot rifle.

Let's examine the physics of a center line sight-in.
The rifle centers of a .470 caliber are about ˝ to ľ" apart.
The rifle is regulated for the barrels to cross at 60 Meters (66 yds.).

The physics states that they will again be ľ" apart at... Answer: 120 meters

Your homework assignment is to calculate when the rifle will shoot 3 to 4" apart.
(You may use graph paper or join Members Only)

O/U - The argument against optics on an over and under rifle is the elevation difference.

That's right, but the difference can be used to your advantage. The lower barrel will give a larger midrange trajectory. A few sessions at the range will work out the unknowns.
