Hi Chasseur,

I never met B. Ripamonti.

He is known as a gifted craftsman. Anyhow he didn’t produce and sell lots of rifles. He is not advertising and don’t show up at fairs.
IMHO his rifles are lovely handmade in accordance with the French gunsmiths tradition.
What I don’t like is the Greener lug, it hampers fast reloading.

It’s only my opinion. I am mostly a Rene Chapuis fan. I know Chapuis is a big manufacturer and that his products are CNC made but even if his doubles are sturdy tools, they remain well balanced and awfully sexy. My humble opinion.
The next fairs are the country show in Paris in May and the Game Fair in the Chambord Castle in June. I am waiting for You.
