Chapuis 470 Nitro

By reputation, the Chapuis is a very sturdy/reliable double rifle.
Unitaelkhunter's .470 in this forum advertisement looks like a smoking hot good deal.

That cartridge is one of the most common ones for doubles, to find in South Africa and Namibia and perhaps other countries as well there but not sure.

Nobody gets to hunt forever.
At some stage, we all get too old to physically put the miles on our boots any more. Buy yourself the rifle you want (such as this .470 double) and book yourself a safari.
Out.
 
Chapuis Safari Express EL with long tang, three flip up sights, upgraded wood, and leather case regulated with federal woodleigh factory ammo but will shoot hornady factory loads in a 3 inch group as well also have load data for this gun to regulate with 350 grain loads. I hate to let this fine gun go but am upgrading to a new double and need to fund it. LOP is 14 and a half inchs.View attachment 25443View attachment 25444View attachment 25445View attachment 25446View attachment 25447View attachment 25448View attachment 25449 i have more pics of it for if interested I am asking 11k thanks
Email me if you're still trying to sell this beauty. ebrownw2@gmail.com
 
I know a guy......who knows a guy......who may be willing to trade a "successful" Alaska brown bear hunt for a gun like that ! Just maybe.........:)
 
Haven't been around for a while. Still have the rifle decided to keep it for now hard to part with every time I think about selling It all I have to do is look it over and shoulder it and I'm right back to keeping it.
 
I wish I had 11k to drop on a rifle. If I did I'd give it a new good home. I don't blame you for not wanting to part with it. I wouldn't either.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
