Best Sighting Option Ele Double Rifle

[wildwilderness]

I am putting together a Double Rifle for Elephant in Zim next spring. I have a Sabatti 470 NE with Ken Owen’s that he regulated at 60 yds.

What sighting system should I use? Possible day or night shots.

My eyes are OK, only wear reader glasses (1.75x) so far

A low power scope with a red dot..in a swing mount.. I have that on my .470 Krieghoff..

A red dot is fast..and crucial if/whe hunting ele at night..

Please provide more details- I am not familiar with a swing mount?

Also which scope do you have?

Pictures of the setup?

A RMR mounted as low as possible is about as good as it get.

Elephant should be taken at 50 meters or less, a lot less.

My Ele's have all been inside of 20 yards keep it simple and shoot the Express Sight that is on the gun

I like wide V backsights and an uncovered ivory bead foresight.
