Chapuis double rifle - UGEX ejector

now the Chapius needs a bigger brother !

Mine definitely needs a big brother…

I’ve been drooling over the thought of a 450-400 Iphisi or 450-400 Elan since the day I brought the 375 Iphisi home…

You need a 450/400 Elan, very nice double, I think @PHOENIX PHIL has an Elan in 470 NE that he is quite fond of.

Took the UGEX to the range. The sights as they came from the factory were shooting around 3 inches right at 25 meters. Adjusted the sights and it’s not too bad.

My reloads are averaging 2270 fps. PPU factory loads average 2170 fps. Both using 285/6 grain projectiles. As the rifle is, I’d happily hunt with her…at ranges under 100 yards.

I have had several Chapuis DRs over the years and all have shot very well (for a double). That's the first single trigger one I have seen.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
