    Successful travelling with firearms from Canada to France

    I followed the recommendations for travelling from Canada to France with firearms and ammunition that were provided on one of the forums. I was even congratulated by the Canadian Custom Agent for knowing the laws and regulations. First, I went online to get my export/import permit for my...

    88 ph model. It will take a few months before I get it but I am glad I made a decision. I almost flipped a coin between Chapuis and Krieghoff. I even called the Krieghoff dealer to order but chickened out at the last second. The Chapuis was out there too for a long time. My wife offered to buy...

    Heym vs Kriegsoff Double Rifles

    I am not an expert on double rifles. I wanted one to replace my o/u and get a side-by-side. I just wanted to tell you that the same thing happened to me. I ordered my Heym rifle 2 weeks ago. I should get it in a few months. This gives me time to think about the scope I want to put on it. I was...

    Chapuis Armes Double Rifles

    I am also on the hunt for a double. I am looking at an UGEX model not the x4. You may get an extra barrel for the UGEX but not the X4. Also, the barrel is 55cm instead of 60cm (22 inch vs 23.5). The one I think of buying is the UGEX with an extra barrel in 20g. I am not sure if I want to invest...

    Thanks, Searcy rifles seem very nice but never handled one before. Will look into it. Thanks for the answer. You are right. Competiton guns are like Formula ones. They rock but springs and parts do break because of intensive shooting. Same in pistol shooting. Always bring more ammo than needed...

    One small question, would you say that 375h&h recoil is approximately the same as 9.3x74r (286g)?

    Ok, few questions for you. Why 470 NE? How would you describe the recoil? What is the longest shot you would take to kill an animal? How accurate is the rifle? Is it a good idea to purchase a 20g barrel with it? Two triggers? Ejectors or extractors? I would really like your opinion.
