Re: Chapuis Brousse 470 NE



Assuming that is left barrel to the left and right barrel to the right, I wish my doubles had such clear regulation. Well done.

Hopefu;;y the heavier scope doesn't affect the regulation. As a guess, if it does, it might make the two barrels shoot slightly more apart. Speeding up the loads slightly might compensate. Or something else happen. Ha ha.

Once tested with the new scope and if it is regulating OK, I'd love to see a "regulation" target shot with NO scope in place. To see how in your rifle it might be different, or not.

The 1x lower variable setting should be excellent on a big nore rifle. Especially in the brush. And great for largest dangerous game.

Up to 4x excellent for longers, more precise shots, a nice red stag at a 120 metres maybe, that tiny roe buck about to get hit with a 500 gr Woodleigh!!! The moose running by the stand should crumple nicely with such a large projectile, indeed might zip straight through with little expansion.

What reticle does your new scope have?

Thanks for posting.

Ooops..I had a Zeiss V4 1-4x24 with illuminated reticle at the shelf, and after looking through my "bits and pieces-box" I found som parts to convert the 1" scope rings to 30mm. The Leupold that was on the rifle has gone back to the past owner, and the Zeiss has been mounted. Hopefully this will not affect the regulating of the rifle, but it do look like it belongs on the Chapuis. If everything works as planned, I will sight the scope at 100m, and let the 470 have a swing at som red deer and elg this fall.
