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.

Just looking at this one at Cleavers myself. It's a toss up for either the Chapius double or a 9.3x74 barrel for my K95.
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.

@pc3 I've got an Aimpoint H1 on mine. Not as sleek looking as some the newer dots.
Had my gunsmith 'custom' fit a spare piece of old picatinny rail I had - sounds a bit bubba - but it's not noticeable and looks OK.
For mounting a scope, there's a Recknagel option. They are alloy - I'd prefer steel to handle the massive recoil impulse of the 9.3.
(Due to the scalloped corners, these didn't work with the Aimpoint)
There could be other options, I'd contact https://www.optics-trade.eu/

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

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.
