I was out today at the range with the .375 H&H and the .470NE. I had put a new 30mm scope on the .375 and needed to start practicing with the double rifle. Luckily, after I set up the new scope with the collimator and leveled it, it only need 4 shots at 50 yards to get it set up. I let the rifle cool down My first 3 shots at 100 yards were 1 1/2" high above the bullseye and covered and a half dollar would have covered the group. This is very unusual (for me) so I put the .375 H&H awayand shot the double. At an even 10 lbs. shooting off hand, it gets your attention so after a dozen rounds I quit. I put all of them in a six inch circle...also unusual so I packed up while I was ahead...the other young fellow at the range shooting his Glock and AR had never seen a double rifle. When I told him the cartridges were developed in 1908 and 1912 he asked if I was really taking antiques to Africa...kids...
