.375 H&H Mag, 26” barrels, ejectors, manual safety, colorcase receiver, Talley rings—I “honored” it with the first scope I ever bought, a fixed power Leupold M8 4x.
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

Great looking wood on that one.
Nice lines on that rifle. My only complaint about the basic Chapuis is they use cyanide coloring rather than traditional bone charcoal fired case hardening on their receivers. It is what creates the ripple effect.
If the plan is to hunt it with a scope, I would suggest detachable mounts. Those look like Talley case colored rings which is a nice touch. I am pretty sure they also make a detachable version in that style. I assume the bases connect to a factory platform at the rib rather than a gunsmith made cut? If the latter, recoil can loosen a rib fairly quickly.
As others have noted, a fabulous looking stock. Look forward to hearing how it shoots.

Beautiful rifle! Nice choice. If you really wanted the QD option couldn’t you just buy the levers from Talley to replace the screw? Either way it will work just fine!

Beautiful rifle Tom, what loads was it regulated with? Do you already have a Buff Hunt planned?

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
