BiebsDave, that's a looker, for sure! Bailey's making me a 375 Flanged to go with the 500 NE as a matched set. Can't wait.

Mike BrooksSo you're after a set of quintuplets from Bailey then??
That is after a few more..

Is that gun built on a 450 to 500 sized frame?

Fo Fiddy NEHas Chapuis always made a double in .450-400? I recall from talking to the guy at the Chapuis booth at SCI the past 2 years that they weren't chambering in that yet but were thinking about it.

loud-n-boomerI would be interested in one, especially since they are making the barrels a bit longer than most, and the gun a reasonable weight. Anybody else selling these? For personal reasons, I will not deal with George Caswell.

7kongoniJJ Perodeau is a Chapuis distributor. You can deal directly with him.
10 February 2012, 22:09
BwannaI hefted this .450/400 several times at SCI. It sure pointed nice and JJ is right, it is a lot of double for the money. I have the Chapuis .470 and I can attest, it is a nice gun. Goes bang every time I pull the trigger and if I do my part the bullets go where they're supposed to.
11 February 2012, 05:37
Mike BrooksThere are other dealers as well, Dale Nygaard at Heirloom Armes and Kebco's son also IIRC.
Show around some.

SnowwolfeWhen I ordered my Chapuis 30R UGEX about two months ago NOBODY else could or would beat the terms and price offered to me by Dale Nygaard.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
