Safari Express vs Super Express

I have a New Haven Safari Express in .375 H&H with barrel band swivel base and 24" factory barrel. I like the weight forward for African hunting where much of the shooting is off hand or standing with sticks. It settles very quickly . My rifle was restocked with a slimmer stock, with better wood, and fitted to my measurements. It has Sunnyhill bottom metal, holds 4 down, and weighs 9 lbs., 15 ounces with the scope. About perfect for a 375.

SunnyHill is a 1 piece?

Obviously your stock is more customized, but overall is the New Haven 2 piece Safari Express a drop in fit into a 1 piece stock (buying bottom metal of course) New Haven or FN?
 
My Sunnyhill bottom metal is one piece with flush fit at the bottom of the stock. The rifle is a New Haven M70 SE with standard heavy barrel. The bottom metal is lightly proud of the factory stock and required a bit of inletting. I was re-stocking anyway, so there was not real penalty.

The Sunnyhill metal uses the factory magazine box so it it is not the Mauser type one-piece magazine and bottom metal unit found on, for instance, Granit Mountain M98 actions. It fits and works just fine, but may require a bot of fiting of the magazine box to be slightly off the bottom of the action flats.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
