Good price (I think?) on new Chapuis double in 450/400

Garciamarquez1918 · Tuesday at 11:21 AM

$13,581. I've seen them listed elsewhere for up to $16,000.

I didn't recall that I had a reminder set up with Midway for when they get one of these in. I've now got a .404 and a 450/400 on order so I'm not a buyer, but the price seems good and I've always had good experiences with Midway going back nearly 50 years.

Well you're lucky because I'm not buying it and it's a great price. Pull the trigger (literally and figuratively!)

Good value for a solid brand. I have owned one of these in this caliber!

I don’t believe the Iphisi has adjustable regulation. At least not that you can do at home. The wedge still has to be heated and moved.

I can tell you my older Chapuis in 450/400 regulates fantastically. It is the predecessor model to the Iphisi.

My bad!!! I missed this is a Iphisi They came out just under $10,000. The $13,000 is priced at their higher quality gun which I have owned

The Elans are now going for 16+ from what I've seen, it seems all doubles have bumped up several thousand in the last few years. Frequently I have seen purchasing recommendations for a given price bracket that the market has moved past.

Yeah I'm no expert on these but I'm seeing Iphisi guns listed for $16,000. But this maybe a "suggested retail" number that nobody actually pays.

Last time I looked at a new one in the Beretta Gallery it was $13k and that was two years ago. But they probably would have come down on that price.

At last November’s Wanenmachers Gun Show I was eyeing a 450/400 Iphisi from Champlin’s that was marked $15,900.

Anything I am interested in rises in price quicker for some reason. I think $13.5 is much gooder!

George Caswell at Champlin Firearms has the Elan 450/400 for $15,300 I believe in stock.
