Hi all,

A friend has just taken delivery of a new Chapuis in 470NE. It's a stunner and he will put it to good use over the next couple of years. I just have a question to ask current Chapuis owners, does your rifle still have the regulating wedge sticking out from between the muzzles?

Cheers,
Mark.
 
It`s normal, several manufacturers have this on their rifles

I have a friend who has one as well and I’m pretty sure the wedge on his sticks out a little.
 
Thanks guys. I have a VC and it doesn't show.

Looking forward to see how it shoots.

Cheers,
Mark.
 
Some pics of the rifle.

cheers

Gorgeous furniture on this rifle
 
Yes you will find the small amount of the wedge on all the Chapuis I have owned and handled.
 
Great looking wood on that rifle. I recently became a chapuis owner and love my rifle
 
Yes. My Chapuis 375 H&H has the regulating wedge sticking out a bit. It's a great shooting rifle and I've used it on two trips to Limpopo. Your friend will love his 470.
 
Looks great !
 
Very nice, hope he gets good use out of it.
 
Congratulations
And yes my merkel 470 has wedge showing
 
@Glenn Slaven did yours come with a nice case like the one pictured!
 
Very nice. Congratulations
 
Is this a Negrini case?

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
