Chapuis vs Searcy 470 wanted

24 April 2007, 18:05

I am new to this site and there is more info available than I can absorb. The difference between the two doubles may be purely personal.
I need a double in the under 10,000 price range for a professional hunted in Africa for dangerous game. Thus reliability and accuracy
with handling must prevail not appearance. Atleast with a used rifle it can be shot.
Where to start to find one, not many listed for sale.

If you are serious about being ready to purchase you will find lots of help here. I would be very specific as to what you are looking for and you will find all the help in the world. There are some great resources on this site who can help you find almost anything.

Good luck.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

I don't know about the Chapuis or Searcy 470, but I know where you can find an excellent Kreighoff (sp?) 500/416 for about 9K. I know for a fact it works wonders on elephant (Largest of the huntable dangerous game).
