Agree with Greg, if one is hunting with a drilling for fur & fowl, the scope is usually not attached unless one is on stand or has time to mount it before shooting some fur.

I formed that opinion for the most typical SxS over rifle drilling. Yours is a double rifle with a shotgun, almost a DGR setup. I'd still carry the scope.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
