All my life I have wanted to own a double rifle. Not so much for dangerous game hunting...but just because. Well,it took 72 years, but yesterday I picked up my new Chapuis .375 Fl. Mag NE purchased from Ken at Kebco. Looks and feels good. Fit and finish is quite nice considering that it is an "over the counter" gun. Can't wait to get to the range. My RCBS dies, ordered 4 months ago, have not arrived yet, but I'm going to try seating bullets with my .375 H&H seater die....should work. Happy days!!

I second this. We MUST see a pic of a double and the target. Good luck--nothing beats a double rifle!

As soon as I shoot it, I'll take some pictures and do my best to figure out how to post them.

Seriously, Phil; if you can figure out how to buy and shoot a double rifle, you can take and post pictures. Put them on photobucket and then it is just a matter of two clicks to get it here.

I am also interested in seeing pictures and a review, as a chapuis in this caliber may very well be what I end up with one day. I may even have 10 rounds of .375 flanged rolling around somewhere I'll sell you cheap as you wait for dies. Caveat emptor is I have to locate them.

Until I get some pictures posted, google Chapuis Agex Brousse for a picture of my rifle. It appears to be shown in a heavier caliber....my barrels are thinner.

That's what I keep telling folks on my elephant hunt. Just Google Ahmed for a picture of my bull. He appears to be heavier . . . my tusks were thinner. Cool
