I have not had a chance to get to any gun shows this year and I was wondering if anyone had seen/handled/purchased one of the new Chapuis S12 O/U double rifles? If so, what was your impression? Here is the link to the PDF: http://www.chapuis-armes.com/u..._14%20GB_presS12.pdf I don't have a clue what they cost yet.

Dave, I just saw one for sale on one of the websites yesterday. It seemed quite reasonable, but I don't think they make in in 338 RCM :-) | |||

Biebs: That's not the same model. The largest caliber S12 is a 9,3X74R. I sent an e-mail to Dale today. Maybe he can give us some info.

That's right the one for sale is a Orion 10, and the new one is an s12 ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Mac: What did you think of the concept of using a regulating block to regulate it and free floating the barrels? I kinda thought it was a neat idea.

Dave if it works and holds regulation once regulated then it is something it seems a lot of people want. I'm not a fan of adjustable regulation in a double rifle, but that is a personal thing with me. A long time ago I had a Valmet 412 that was chambered for 375 Winchester, with a standard 1 in 12 inch twist. I re-chambered those barrels to 375 JDJ and regulated it, then soldered the adjustable feature permanently so it couldn't undo it's self at the wrong time. Chapuis makes good rifles, and I have no doubt the mod 12 is a good rifle! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Just heard from Dale. Base price for the S12 is $4,050 which includes shipping.

I'm interested! Wonder if these can be built left handed? Any idea what calibers they can be chambered for? My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

It is listed in the link! The largest chambering is 9.3X74R, with 8mmX57JRS and 30R Blaser .........................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||
