i would rather have the auto with nice scope than expensive gun no scope.
In all fairness, the niche market for this would seem to be dangerous/safari game guide type guns for protection (ie, main hunter makes a bad shot and you got something big and nasty charging at you). In such cases scopes are more a hindrance than a help (hitting a moving target with a scope is hard enough as is - if it's charging and intending to kill me that's just gonna make that shot even harder
). Auto's are also generally considered unreliable in such cases, and despite being pretty fast, traditional bolts would still be too slow.
Truthfully, this is more a case of trying to have this supplant traditional double-rifles, rather than bolt rifles. Whether or not this offers anything over a double rifle would be debatable, but it's interesting enough that I'd certainly want one
(though as I said earlier, I will never be able to afford one, nor would I likely pay the asking price even if I did have the money).
Of course I have been thinking a regular break action .45-70 SxS Rifle would be cool, and those aren't TOO expensive
.
