Re: Chapuis Double Rifle in 30-30. Anyone have one?

Just received a Chapuis combo set in 30-30, and 28 bore. I have very limited results so far, but off the top, it seems it will work very well with my handloads, as well as Remington 150 gr factory- this regulated with the 160 Leverevolution, which the factory targets show at 1" horizontal, 1/2" vertical, at 50 m. Now, I have just test fired, at various ranges in the dirt- no targets yet, but it seems this one is at least as accurate as I can see with a variety of loads. So far, it looks like this is at least as accurate as any of my other doubles.

Problem is, the bloody thing has a 15 1/2" pull!!! Curiously, if I close my eyes, pull it up, and open them the sights are aligned! Seems to catch on my clothing on the way up though. Will see how this works in the skeet range soon, before I amputate 5/8 from the stock.

So far, I'm very impressed! Once the length of pull and the sights get sorted out, I think it's a keeper. BTW, 30-30 is a VERY serviceable cartridge when you aren't talking big stuff- in the new loadings about what the .303, and 30-40 were. No flies on this one!
