Soooooo, I graduate college in December with my Bachelors. My dad has known that I’ve wanted a double forever and I got a surprise phone call today to come pick up my graduation present from my good friend at IGFA.
Behold, the FAIR Safari in 9.3x74R (yes I know technically it’s not 375 or larger). I am so f’n excited I’ve just about wet myself over this. Now just to save my pennies and go whack another buffalo but with this guy this time!!!!

What a fine looking piece to take a buffalo with! And congratulations on your college graduation!
A bud has a Chapuis I think it is in 9.3x74R. A fun double to play with!

Its funny I never really gave the caliber a second thought until I got to play with @ActionBob ‘s 9.3x74R. After shooting his Sabatti I was in love :love: with the little caliber.
 
congratulations!

never heard of the brand before, let us know how it shoots.

Congrats on graduation!
Thanks I’m in the middle of my last two classes now. One is fun and I truly and deeply hate the other.
 
Hang in there! Not much time left!

Thanks, I’ll get it done but I really
#%*!?#% hate this senior capstone class. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
My other one is poetry of war which is an awesome class.
 
Looks very nice. You'll have to give us a report on she shoots. Congrats

Congrats on both! Beautiful rifle!
 
Great gift.

Congratulations on your bachelors!
 
Wow, what a present! I’m open to being adopted if your dad is looking to gift another one! [emoji12]
 
Give my best to Rudyard Kipling and congrats on the rifle (I trust your professor includes “Gunga Din” and perhaps “Tommy?”). That double would also be an awesome thing to take on a bear hunt on this side of the Atlantic.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
