The AZUR XA is the SXS small frame, made in smaller calibers. The V-C guns are made to order, you choose the barrel length, stock dimensions, sights, engraving, weight, action finish, splinter forearm vs semi-beavertail, etc., it is a gun made the way you want it, not the way the factory wants to make it. The Chapuis and Merkel are production guns, they make a lot of them and with only a few options and they all look alike. The V-C is hand checkered, hand engraved, the UGEX and 141 are both laser checkered and engraved. You need to look at them side by side (and be sure to look and compare the lock up). Not sure who the dealers/distributor in Norway is but you should try and see a example V-C gun in person.

Kebco is correct on the options available on the VC rifles,however there are no flys on the other two, and there more than just a few perks to be had on Merkels as well, if you want to wait for them to be buiit.

The one thing is the Merkel and Chapuis are very servicable in the off-the-shelf rifles as well.and if reliability is a concern,all are good. All shoot very well.

All the rifles you list are good rifles,and you won't make a mistake no matter which you shoose! I think Kebco can get any of them for you!

What ever your choice they are all DOUBLE RIFLES,that shoot where they are aimed and are reliable, that is what counts more than anything else.
