I would second Der Ami's comments. I have a pre-War Krieghoff Neptun sidelock drilling in the same caliber combination as the "Wagner" and a Sauer und Sohn Model 26 sidelock drilling in 16/16/8X57IR, neither of which is equipped with a scope. They stay in the gun case while my other drillings, which are equipped with scopes, get hunted with.
I have killed one deer with the Sauer drilling, taken running at short range, but even before I started experiencing difficulty with my right eye, the rear sight was hopeless for shots beyond 50-60 yards.
My Greifelt drillings did not come equipped with scopes, but they did have claw mount bases and I was able to have rings fitted and scopes mounted, which enhances their usefulness enormously.
One more drilling, another Neptun, is in Germany awaiting completion of the import formalities. It is caliber 16/16/8X65RS, and I am particularly looking forward to trying it out in the field.
