Double-up

I will add that when I get a 470NE, it will absolutely be mounted with a red dot sight. At 74 years old, it's a must have. Look out Botswana elephants.

No Kevin. The rifle has been absolutely amazing. No issues at all. If you read the write-up on Champlinarms.com, I agree with their assessment that Chapuis is the best value for the money in a double rifle today.
I will give you an example: On my 2018 buffalo in Limpopo, I made a first shot that was, shall we say, "less than fatal" so we were tracking a wounded buff for at least 3 hours. We set up an ambush and sent another PH and tracker into the thick bush to push the bull out. When he came out I was on sticks about 100 yards away and put a kill shot in and he kept going so I started shooting offhand and put another in, then broke open the action and quicklly put another two rounds in and hit him again as I was walking up to him. My PH says, "Hit him again, but be careful about his horns," so I hit him again. All fatal shots. He went down. No issues at all with the Chapuis.

Sounds like every second of that experience is vividly engtained in your memory, wonderful!

I spoke with Alex from Kreighoff at the DSC and SCI and he has me very seriously considering a set of 30/06 barrels and possibly a set of 20 gauge for my big 5 classic that currently has 470 barrels on it. That would make it quite a useful package.

Back in the days when running boar was an olympic entry, an elderly gentleman set records with a small caliber double rifle! So, I would like one in 8x57R

I put four through university, seven degrees later, so I only get to spend the change. But boy, am I going to spend it!

Lol! I put 2 through…now am spending on what I want!
