I too have a Chapuis in 9,3x74R and it is my favorite rifle under 40 cal. My wife has a Sauer 12x12x30-06 drilling, with a 4x Kahles scope in claw mounts, that she sometimes lets me borrow

. I bought it for her to hunt with on our deer lease as she hunts on the river. She has taken deer,pigs,ducks, dove, quail, rabbits, squirrel, and grouse in Montana. I like it even better for wing shooting than my Browning Citori and would love to have one with a 9,3x74R bbl. We use this gun quite a bit and it shoots very good.
