Re: Chapuis Brousse 470 NE

The price is quite acceptable, I think.. In the $4000 range, included scope, Rcbs dies, 50 Norma cases and 150 Woodleigh WC bullets.




BTW just looking back to your bridge image the link which has dropped off, that price, WOW! I would buy three at that price! Very well done. Usually second hand Chapuis here go for at least $7000. $8000 or a lot more. Very well done. And a "cheap" way to get into double rifle owning and shooting, with an extremely useful and valued chambering.

Your posts have perhaps made me consider one day a Chapuis in .375 as my future .375 double rifle, I have desired for many years. If scoped it performs like yours, it could become my main hunting rifle for anything medium game where a longer range shot may not be required.

One member on NE had unfortunate results with his Chapuis, same time I was in France. I forget the circumstances. But generally most people I know with them are happy. One or two have had negatives, but sometimes self caused, such as shooting unbanded mono metal solids through their rifles. But generally I think it is a cheaper DR brand which can be purchased with a fair amount of confidence, that it will do what it is supposed to do. I have been put off by the beavertail forend, but perhaps it can grow on me. I certainly will keep my eye out for a suitable pre-owned .375 H&H Mag or preferably a .375 "Mag" Flanged.
