Hi all,

A friend has just taken delivery of a new Chapuis in 470NE. It's a stunner and he will put it to good use over the next couple of years. I just have a question to ask current Chapuis owners, does your rifle still have the regulating wedge sticking out from between the muzzles?

Cheers,
Mark.
 
It`s normal, several manufacturers have this on their rifles

I have a friend who has one as well and I’m pretty sure the wedge on his sticks out a little.
 
Thanks guys. I have a VC and it doesn't show.

Looking forward to see how it shoots.

Cheers,
Mark.
 
Some pics of the rifle.

cheers

Gorgeous furniture on this rifle
 
Yes you will find the small amount of the wedge on all the Chapuis I have owned and handled.
 
Great looking wood on that rifle. I recently became a chapuis owner and love my rifle
 
Yes. My Chapuis 375 H&H has the regulating wedge sticking out a bit. It's a great shooting rifle and I've used it on two trips to Limpopo. Your friend will love his 470.
 
Looks great !
 
Very nice, hope he gets good use out of it.
 
Congratulations
And yes my merkel 470 has wedge showing
 
@Glenn Slaven did yours come with a nice case like the one pictured!
 
Very nice. Congratulations
 
Is this a Negrini case?

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
