Who Needs A Scope On An Elephant Rifle?

I imagine you will be much closer than 50-70 yards. I use a Docter Optic/Noblex red dot on my Verney Carron double.

Who wore it better? One guy sees everything. (Ivan Carter I suspect). The elephants potentially coming in on the periphery. The ability to not just see through the sight, but to see past it with two eyes opened. Ready.

The other guy: Fully engaged into a tubular optic. Likely using monocular vision because you’d be looking at turrets as well. No cross eye view to the right because the tube obstructs a peripheral view with the opposing eye.

Maybe I’m inferring something that isn’t there, but it feels to me like the tacticool preferences trying to infect a form-meets-function dangerous game scenario. I don’t want to hunt infidels, I want to hunt DG. It just feels like a dozen justifications to use a seal-team-6 oriented optic on a hunt when they weren’t really designed for that application.

Obviously, the shot is .000001% of the days activities on a DG hunt. The other 99.99999% of the time I’d be removing Mopane leaves and Jess thorns from the clogged up larger optic while cursing under my breath.

Your opinions may vary.

You can't compare a H1 micro with Mr Tacticool there man!!! The Micro series feels like a ghost ring.

First look through them, you might be surprised.
