Old guns and classic game! There is a lot to like about the challenge of this style of hunting! Sounds like you are pulling of some very long shots with the double too. I shot a chital hind with my 470 last year at 80 m. 100 is about as far as I think I could pull the shot off. Good shooting!

Patrick,

My hearty congratulations on your latest successful hunt. That rifle is a fabulous treasure, and you are proving yourself quite worthy of such a fine instrument.

Apologies for resurrecting an older thread but trolling through NE after a couple of glasses (or more!) of Single Malt, I must have missed the original post

Both rifles from Chasseur and Huvius (certainly a British Rifle enthusiast!) are about as good as it gets

As well as being Best A-H with Hammers ( I am with Curl regarding "ears") the engraving is arguably the best available at the time
Some customers preferred the Rose and Scroll alone in a Best Gun/Rifle [my ex Duke of Marborough A-H Best Single a prime example] shot but this is the tops
[must not be too pedantic but much better for a real usable rifle than the beautiful but possibly impractical "Gun Porn"]

I particularly like the bolted non-rebounding locks, with the slightly lower hammers that A-H used. The excellent percussion style fences are a joy to behold

Very good shooting from Chasseur

180 yards! Nice shot! Can tell you practice.

Beautiful rifles guys, the great thing about AH is that theyre mainly BPE rifles, which seem to garner less price, so one day, hopefully, it'll be possible to join you's with an AH of my own
