Got computer back. Little easier to type. In reply to how I liked the handling of the others, I thought that all the rifles were very nice. I found that overall I was partial to the Chapuis. It seemed to fit my frame and body style the best of the three. I really enjoyed shooting this gun in the .470 NE caliber. It was pleasant to shoot and I loved stuffing those huge casings down the gun barrels. I have saved for years to get the Krieghoff and after shooting and holding it, it just did not fit me well. Also, I did not really like how there was little clearance between the barrels and the action when stuffing a shell back into the rifle. Seems like under high pressure, you could fail to open the action all the way and not get a new round in quick enough. The Blaser and the Chapuis were quick and easy to load and both were a pleasure to shoot. As I mentioned above, my friend who was shooting with me did not like the Chapuis. It did not fit him at all. I think that is why different people favor particular rifle makers. He is considering getting a drilling after testing the rifles. I finalized my plans for the show in January today and have been invited to share the "Kiwi House" as my friend Tim Buma refers to a home he rented for the week for himself and friends. He has also reserved a table near the front for the big auction on Saturday and has offered a donation for the auction. He is an amazing guy to hunt with and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to hunt in New Zealand. I met him through hunting with him and he went out of his way throughout the entire week going far above and beyond what I expected from him on the hunt. I will forward the booth info shortly. I sent an email to him a short while ago letting him know that I will definitely be coming down to help him and requesting the booth number. I plan on spending both afternoons Friday and Saturday helping him out.
