Just in case we haven't yet strayed far enough from the subject of double shotguns . . .
Speaking of scopes, I've found Kahles scopes to offer high quality Teutonic optics and construction for less than the cost of the Zeiss and Swarovski equivalents.
The Kahles CL 3-9x42 on top of my Kimber Montana .300 WSM took quite a beating on my 2007 Colorado elk hunt. The Kahles never lost zero, never fogged, and always provided a wide, distortion free, and high contrast view. It brought home the bacon, too. All this despite being dropped in the mud and later being dunked in a creek.
