My first double rifle!

Congratz on your first double. Chapuis make a very nice rifle I have a 9.3 that is my favorite followed by my VC in 450/400. You will find the caliber to be easy to shoot and is a great round for your buffalo.
 
Chapuis are fine doubles and you picked a very versatile caliber (just procured a K-Gun in 450/400). Soft shooting but with a big punch! Enjoy your shake down cruise next outing...Congrats!
 
As far as advice on your first time at the range, I found that maintaining proper, consistent trigger pressure when switching from the front trigger to the back trigger was very important. I was pulling the shots on the left barrel (back trigger) to the left until I figured this out.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
