Allen,

Not sure I could afford one of his rifles if they cost as much as a Wood/blue Echols rifle. If I did go with the bolt I would like to keep it under 10K.

Hopefully I can find a way to buy the Chapuis and put a good portion of the cost of the bolt down and only have to worry about paying it off over the next couple years.

That would be ideal in my eyse.

NE450No2,

Which model Chapuis do you have? The pistol grip on them seems like it is at a very acute angle (from the pics on the Chapuis website looks close to 90 degrees). Any comment?
