Adding a couple more pictures of my first double rifle to accompany an earlier post. It is set and ready for dangerous game in Zimbabwe 2 weeks from now! Made for Africa! I really like the figure and contrast in the wood.

very nice! Where will you be in Zimbabwe
 
It glows! Very nice double with beautiful wood!
 
Beautiful double! Looking forward to reading your report! :)
 
That's a beautiful double. I LOVE the traditional looking pad and Chapuis rifles in general.
 
Congrats on the Chapuis 470. I acquired one about a year ago and it'll be heading to the Zambezi Valley June 2023. I love that gun.

Noticed the fly rod cases - are you going to try for tigerfish on the fly while in the Save?
 
That is gorgeous wood on your rifle! I have owned a Chapuis, and a Heym. They are both very strong solid rifles. Good luck and enjoy it on your hunt!
 
Beautiful rifle, congratulations. You will not go wrong in the Save, I assume buffalo is on the ticket?

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
