No offense intended, then none taken.

I never set out to prove anything with or about the 9,3x74R.

I bought the Chapuis because I could not find a decent medium British double rifle, that I could afford.

I wanted a lighter less recoiling double for use on deer and pigs on my deer lease as an understudy to my 450 No2 and my 450/400.

By using these 3 doubles I discovered how good double rifles were as general hunting rifles, not just for charges of DG.
I began to use the 9,3 more and more in the States. The more I used it the more I liked it. Then I took it to Africa with my 450 No2 in June 2004.

This year it made 2 trips to Africa.

The calibre has never let me down.

While I do think the 450/400 and the 450 No2 are better for buff and elephants, I feel I can do anything with the 9,3 that I could do with a 375 H&H.

Many PH's recommend that a client bring a 375 as their biggest rifle.

And as I have said before I prefer the 9,3 double to any calibre bolt action, especially in the case of a charge, as it gives me 2 chances to brain the beast.
