My story is pretty similar to the others.

I've loved SxS shotgun since I was a little kid. I saved up and bought a Stevens 311 when I turned 18! I grew up hunting grouse in Alaskan and so I've been hunting with doubles from the begining. I started with a Savage 22/20 gauage combination gun.

Later on I found out there were SxS double rifles so I had to have one.

After a good deal of research I thought 9.3x74r working gun would be just the ticket for the hunting I do. So I saved up money and waited thinking it'll be a few years.

Well to my surprise when I was doing some grad school work in Europe I found out that small and medium calibre double rifles were pretty common with normal hunters and the prices for a Rizinni, Merkel, or Chapuis were not that bad. So I made friends with the local gunshop owner and visited the historic gunmaking region of St. Etienne in France and saw several shops. I bought a new Chapuis UGEX in 9.3x74r for not much more than the price of a double shotgun.
