Hello AH Community. I recently purchased my first double rifle, a Krieghoff Classic Big Five, and I am looking for a red-dot or reflex site to mount on the gun. Do any of you have suggestions on optics, and mounting systems?
Thank you for the advice! Which Recknagel mount is this? When you say on, and off in seconds do you mean the mounts are quick detachable? I love that feature.
I have the New Kahles that I had JJ Perodeau mount for me. It is perfect as it is clear and very small so it does not distract from the beauty of the double. Theoretically I wonder how any sight can stay perfectly on with all that recoil.Hello AH Community.

A rail mount conversion on a DR?If it has a claw base, u can use a rail conversion and pretty much anything you want at that point. Reflex sight would be great on it, imo .
Ive only had 1 dr. So im not too familiar with the set up. But ive read about it when i was choosing my sight. I seem to remember its all about the rib contour as to what your able to do to certain rifles.A rail mount conversion on a DR?

So I purchased the Recknagel bases, and the Leica reflex site, but I am experiencing a few issues.
First, the screws included in the package (there were six of them, with differing heads and sizes) are not long enough to fit through the Leica device and into the base. The screw holes appear to match up…..the screws just aren’t long enough?
Second, when I try to put the mount onto the rifle, the dovetails appear to match up pretty well, but I can’t get the Recknagel’s lever arm to tighten down on the base because the arm cannot be rotated enough because it makes contact with the barrels on the rifle.
Any advice for me?
Also I have a trip in thirty days so I'd love to get this figured out.
Thanks!I had screws that came with the base and screws that came with the sight, not sure which ones I ended up using but at least one set worked.
As for the lever, pre adjust it before mounting on the barrel, once that’s done it takes about half a turn from lock to unlock.
