Are chapuis double rifles good quality rifles? How would they compare with other brands?

I bought a used one here in 9.3x74R. It’s my first and only DR so far. It seems to be a good entry level DR. I’ve only taken it to the range once. Beyond that, I can’t comment. I’d like to shoot it more, but haven’t. If you’re ever up this way, let me know and we can go burn some powder with it.

I have a Chapuis 9.3x74R that I use for driven game in Europe. It's relatively old one (sorry, don't know the model), but you see a good number of similar at good driven shoots in France.
I love it: it performs perfectly with any factory ammo you put in it, and is easy to shoot.
Sorry I cannot compare it with other manufacturers but, based on how my neighbouring guns on the shoots regard Chapuis, they are a good, lower-priced (its all relative) doubles.

Chapuis has a reputation for being more accurate and durable than they should be for what they cost relative to other brands.

I know JJ loves them.

Owned four of them and my current one is a 9.3 X4 model, which has adjustable barrels. It is, by far, the most accurate DR I have ever had, shooting into one inch at 50 yards, and that was with no adjustment. And I mounted a scope too , which is easy on them.
Best buy in a double rifle for under 375 caliber.
Just get one and see.

Thanks for the comments.

Have one in 470 NE. I handload my ammo and it shoots great!

I don’t think you could go wrong!

generally good rifles at their price point

tend to be a bit lighter by caliber than most of the last century British guns ( the 450'and 470's)
