I don't own one.

A number of members have them and seem to like them.

The rifle is also available in 9.3x74R which is a rimmed round and only a few hundred fps slower than an .375 H&H Mag. It will do most things the .375 can do, except be a legal calibre for cape buffalo/elephant in some Africa states and countries where a min'm of a .375 is required. The 9.3x74R is very popular in Europe for driven boar, deer and moose hunting. The 9.3 chambering can sometimes be found in cheaper (ie in price terms) rifles than the .375 probably because those rifles are designed for medium cartridges while the .375 is often grouped with rifles designed for larger chamberings such as the .470.

Most people will generally advise a rimmed round. But some members have magnum or rimless rifles and have had no problem. GENERALLY a rimmed chambering is preferable IMO.

Chapuis seem quite well made DRs for the price.

I would consider one but don't like beavertail forends at all.

The key questions are what do you want to use one for? Now and in the future? If buffalo and similar sized game, a .470 (sized) DR should also be considered. If maybe just for fun, deer, pigs etc, a .375 or 9.3 is a great choice, plus will kill anything bigger on earth as well.

Have fun choosing.
