Hi everyone I shoot a fare bit with my double (Chapuis .375H&H) both plains and DG and I've become quite used to the triggers. They've always been heavy but that's the way they are and I just got used to it. The front is 6lbs and the rear 61/2lbs. I recently shot a friends 470 and the triggers...

Morning all Like many, I've followed the debate about the DGX range and, I suspect, also like many have sat on the fence until the collective consciousness reaches a conclusion. My hand was slightly forced as the regulation load for my double is no longer available - at least not in the UK -...

Hi everyone I'm desperately trying to source some of these. I'm in the UK and there are none on these shores and I can't find any from any suppliers in Europe either. Does anyone have any US supplier suggestions that could post links so I can see if they'll ship to the UK. Not sure if that is...

Morning guys I'm after a little help with adjusting the open sights on my .375 H&H Chapuis side by side. I've just developed a new loading that regulates well but I'm finding that the point of impact and point of aim are not coincident. Point of impact is two inches to the right of the point...

Hello Like many folks on here we like to think that, whilst not experts in everything, that we do at least know our way around firearms and have a reasonable grasp of all the main types and their relative histories. Well this one caught me out. I'd never heard of anything like it. My fiend and...

Good morning I hope you're all well. I'm about to reload some of the above and I'm looking at the various reloading manuals for powder weights and velocities. I'm in the UK so rather limited on powder choice but have both Vithavouri N140 and N150 - which most manuals cater for. The one manual...

Hi everyone Folks on here often ask for help with issues they may have or problems to which they need suggestions to resolve. Often (and I fall into the category) we are left wondering what outcome the OP ended up with and what route they took. Well, I'm going to close the circle on the...

Hello I've seen a few people mention their desire to hunt these tricky and elusive little tusked deer so I thought I'd whet the appetite with this photo. It was originally posted by a colleague on a UK website (Darkwoodecho on the Stalking Directory) and shows how the skull develops as they...

After some help please. As age progresses, my eyes can't accommodate as well as they used to and, as such, I'm finding the contrast levels between the fore and rear sight on my double an increasing problem. I'm not keen on either a scope or a reflex but was wondering what the older gents (of...

Hello I'm after some help. These are ridiculously expensive in the UK so I'm trying to recreate them. I have the necessary constituent components but I'm struggling to work out what powder/weight is used. Any suggestions? Thanks FN

This is my introduction and, being a Brit, and typically self deprecating, I find introductions like this a bit awkward. I've shot for most of my life and, despite the restrictions of firearm ownership in the UK, I've had a certificate for 40 years. I've shot all the species in the UK and...
