Ordered the scope mount from Pymarid Air Rifles and slapped on a Burris 3x9 as it was the only scope on hand without rings.

Rounded up a box of once fired Federals, some 180 grain Nosler Partitions, and some H4350.

Started with 51 grains to sight in the scope and groups were about 3 inches apart at 25 yards. Before I started moved the jack screw a couple of clicks to adjust the right barrel closer as I heard a couple of horrow stories of the right barrel being wayyyyyyyy off to start. Wished I hadnt of done that because I am convinced the rifle would of been almost dead on if I didnt move it.

Worked up to 54 grains and at 50 yards three separate 2 shot groups were 1 inch, thats right, 1 inch but they were crossing. Both barrels shot to the same point as far as elevation. And my shooting technique was not the greatest as the forearm was being rested on the rest as I supported the rear of the rifle. The god awful long trigger pull didnt help matters either and I bet once the triggers are worked on this rifle will be a tack driver.

Next trip out I will play with the regulation a little bit more so the barrels do not cross and move the target back to 100 yards and see what happens.

For a $700 double rifle this thing rocks! No signs of excessive pressure but sure do wish the 06 was rimmed as it would make pulling the empty cases out easier. Outside of the long long trigger pulls my only complaint is the fact the safety automatically goes on when you open the action. After regulation is complete the iron sights will get fixed and it will be scopeless. Recoil was mild. Might play with 220 grain slugs in the future just to see what happens.

Glad your havin' fun with your rifle!

good on ya .. the air rifle scope works great, yeah?

It was perfect. Except the bastards at Pymarid Air charged me $19 + change to ship it to me in Alaska via UPS.
When I asked them to ship it to me via USPS they told me they could not because they could not gurantee the mount would arrive. When asked if they heard of insurance they just stuttered and stammered but wouldnt budge off the shipping charge so it was take it or leave it. So I bent over and took it.

Can you say, "We don't drive to the Post Office when UPS comes to us."?

No, I would say I'll ship it the way you want because we want your business and customer satisfaction is our goal.
But unfortunately that seems to be a thing of the past anymore.

So??? When do "we" get to give it a work out?

Mike, as soon as I get it dialed in for 100

Went back to Birchwood today for a little fun. Top target speaks for itself. On the bottom target the load was increased by 1 grain and not much change. It was pretty windy out and the triggers still prevent a even release but I would speculate that the groups could be cut in half if the triggers were worked on. No misfires, no difficulties extracting the cases.
One thing for sure though is the rifle is sensitive. Last trip out I was firing the left barrel first ( I am left handed) and this trip out I decided to shoot it correctly and fired the right barrel first which then caused me to play with the jack screw a little. Still, rifle is a piece of cake to regulate or I just stumbled upon the perfect load for this thing.
A nice gentleman was sitting down the range from me watching and then he came over to talk. He told me he recently bought a Blaser Luxus double from Cabelas in (I believe) 500/416 and wanted to know how this rifle shot. I showed him the targets and then he watched me shoot the final group. His final comments were he wanted to know where he could buy one as it was more accurate than his Blaser. Cetaintly this rifle is not even in the same league as other doubles but still, the accuracy is there. I have never scoped my Chapuis so can not give a direct comparison but I suspect this rifle is more accurate. Still need to load up some more and take it back to 100 yards and see what happens.
I am resting the forearm on the rest and supporting the stock free hand so this is not even bench rest shooting. The black bullseye is 4 inches across.
PS: The Noslers are "seconds".

VERY nice! I haven't been able to get out with my scoped 30/06 yet but I sure would be happy to get groups like those.

Hi serge
Did you have any problems with extraction witt your 30/06 double rifle.
