CHASSEUR I'm sorry to hear of your problems with your Chapuis double rifle, or rather the maker! I'm glad, however, that you posted this here, because I have been thinking about buying a 470NE Chapuis, a thought quickly forgotten today!

I know NE450No2, personally, and can bear witness to, not only his shooting ability, but the accuracy of his Chapuis double rifle chambered for 9.3X74R. I witnessed him shooting a coyote hitting it with two shots, one from each barrel, at a measured distance of 317 yds.

As far as I know, he has not had any trouble with his rifle, and if the factory is as bad as I'm hearing, I hope he doesn't! I have a Merkel 9.3X74R double, and have been very happy with it. As far as useing it on Mbogo, I would have no qualms in doing just that, and in fact intend to, on my next trip to Zambia! This is the third double rifle I have owned, and hunted with, chambered for 9.3X74R, and they have all been top notch, and have made the little doubles my favorite rifles. Though I have owned many doubles, in many chamberings, the little double chambered for 9.3X74R has become my first choice in most cases!
