"Chapuis UGEX 9.3X74R"..."vicious"..."if you cannot stand to shoot it"...

I cannot for the life of me understand how a reasonably healthy adult male with any DR experience at all could be bothered enough by the recoil of a 9.3 double to find it difficult to use. I've shot the Chapuis in 9.3. Sure, it kicks a little. It's underweight, and it isn't a .22. I could understand your comments relative to, say, a poorly stocked .470, an underweight .500 or some such, but a 9.3? That's beyond The Pale. Perhaps the step down to your new small bore is what you need.

Heavy caliber double rifles kick some, and recoil begins at .450 - that's the trade off for power, but it's nothing a normal adult can't become accustomed to with ease with a well - built gun, up to about .470 anyway. If you don't understand the relationship between handling dynamics and after market recoil reduction schemes, or the impact of handling dynamics on the utility of a double rifle as the specialized tool that it is, then you don't understand double guns very well. I'd rather get kicked than tolerate a DR that has all the handling qualities of a creosote corner post.
