    After waiting years and looking at all the options and asking everyone’s thoughts I’ve bought a new Krieghoff .470. I’ve visited Alamo Sporting Arms in San Antonio and handled their guns at every show for a few years now. They are fitting it to me and putting the see through sights on it and I’ll pick it up when I get home. Lots of fun at the SCI show!

    Well done mate! I’ve got see thru sites on my 9.3x74R. They work well for hunting - easy to see and quick to align, not great for rang work as the bead covers too much of the target but that’s not what double is for anyways.

    Outstanding - I personally don't think you could have bought a better one for under 80k or so.
