My Chapuis Brousse 470NE got a little sister the other day. I traded my custom Winchester M70 in 9,3x64 Brenneke for a Chapuis S/S double in 375 H&H.. The new french girl in the family is a set up just like my Brousse, but is actually built on a Progress action. It has 26" barrels with one standing leaf, 3 flip-up leafs and bases for scope mounts. Double triggers, ejector and manually safety. It also has the extended lower tang and steel, trap gripcap. The only feature missing compared to my Brousse is the scalloped side reinforcements on the baskule. The stock is "lefthanded" with a checkpiece on the right side, but has hardly any cast on. The stock suits me nice, even as a right handed shooter. Weight 3,9kg.

The 375 H&H together with her big sister. My Chapuis Brousse in 470 NE.

Yesterday I got around to try the 375. The first pair of shots at 100m.. Looking good! 300gr Hornady DGX, 69gr Norma 203B and Fed 215 primers. Had only 4 pieces of Hornady 375H&H cases laying around, but I had to try my new beauty.. Waiting for 300gr Nosler Partition bullets and Norma cases to arrive.

Edited: images, way too large.
