"As to the Chapius doubles, IMO they are without a doubt the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen in a double rifle, and I have owned a lot of double rifles in my day, both English, German, and domestic..."

I don't like the Chapuis as well as some others in the same price range, but I don't think I'd go as far as Ray in discribing them! I do know several people who own Chapuis rifles, and only one has had a problem with his. That problem was deemed to be his own fault, by useing
un-pressure-ringed Monolithic solids in it, breaking the solder between the barrels and ribs. It seems Chapuis fixed it, then it happened again, and when they found out he was useing the monos in it they told him if he used them again, he was on his own!

The things I don't like about them are they are made too light for caliber to suit me. The barrels are short, and very thin, and I don't like a beavertailed forend wood, even on a shotgun. Those things are personal likes, and dislikes, nothing more!

I have a friend who has a Chapuis 9.3X74R, that is as accurate as any hunting rifle out to 250 yds, regardless of type, or make.

Would I buy one? NO! Because I can buy a new Merkel, or a good used Britt, a fitted B. Searcy,or other used German double, that is just as good,or better, for considerably less money, and keep my money out of France. Just my $0.02
