In January at SCI/Reno the Cabelas booth had a Chapuis 470 with, what they claimed, was a special engraving pattern Chapuis was going to do only for them. They said they were going to start stocking these in their stores. Their plans appear to have reached fruition. The Cabelas store near me (Richfield, WI) has one in stock for 12K in 470 NE, nice looking rig. Other stores may follow later.

Just out of curiosity, are there any Chapuis doubles in .375 H&H Flanged being stocked in stores in the US? When I spoke to Vincent Chapuis at the Rambouillet Show earlier this year he told me they would be chambering their "Brousse" line, for the first time, in .375 H&H Flanged.

An earlier look at the chapuis website: http://www.chapuis-armes.com confirmed that the Artisale range of double rifles (gamme artisanale) can be had in .375 flanged. (Can't access that website just now...

Head Trauma...there is one at the Hamburg, Pa store as well.
