    Guy,s. I am just wondering after ordering my new Chapuis in .470 NE and then booking a Cape Buffalo hunt in South Africa for August.

    New to Double guns

    Hi, I am about to embark on my search for my first double rifle. I am going to look at one tomorrow. It is a Sabatti in .470 NE. does anyone have an opinion on this weapon. I have shot with 30.06 and .375 HH but this gun has come up at what seems to be a quite reasonable price. Double guns are...
