Brian,

A double .30/30 is high on my wish list.

For pigs (feral hogs) it'd be a great "kick em out and shoot em" gun. Should be able to be built lightly enough to be in your hands when you need it..........and not on a sling.

With heavy/long round soft nose projectiles it should penetrate/kill very well. A "Texas heart shot" on the biggest boar should be effective. Can't see why it wouldn't do the same job on the biggest Whitetail Buck or a Black Bear.

The same could be said for a .303 British or a .30/40 Krag.......they'd give more velocity .....but would you need it ?????

The Chapuis looks well built......and if it fits you well it should serve you well to 100yds, and as others have said here 200yds....in the hands of a good shot.

I'd suggest that a .30/30 double would see far more use than one of the bigger "blasters" due to it's modest recoil and relative cheap cost to shoot.

Dugaboy,

Be sure to share the build process with us when you decide to replace your much missed double.
