PSmithIt's just crazy expensive for a Chapuis .470 with some cartoon-ey gold inlay.
FWIW, I've been to the seller's store, Kevin's, in Thomasville GA (near Tallahassee FL) and it is very cool. Kevin will probably have this rifle at SCI/Vegas.

doubleriflejackYou guys don't seem understand. This rifle is for the guy who has everything, and money to burn! After all, where are you going to find another one like it?

vagrouserYou all are far too polite.
Same mindset no doubt as a patient I heard about with the twin tattoos "Do not enter" and an arrow pointing to their anus seen when they presented for colonoscopy.
Apologies if anyone is sporting something similar!

retreeverI saw that rifle last year in Dallas... It was a hoot to hold and read all the info the owner had engraved on it. Oh yea! I think he was from New Jersey.

DoubleDonI emailed Michael Burnett yesterday. Told him he was either a bit early or late for an April fools joke. He responded "what do you mean?" I replied "the engraving, did you photoshop it?" He replied "not at all, that's why I bought it".
True story!!

subsailor74Suffice it to say there are just a few folks out there you would not share a mopane fire with.
The rifle is just plain hideous.

First off who’d want another one like it? There are some folks with their only taste being in their mouth!

Possibly tracks from the Kilombero of Delta? Maybe even from a wet season hunt?
Anyway, Someone's got a weird sense of humour.

herrdoktorI think it is lacking another engraving at the end of the tubes. Something like "way out" or "here it goes!"

Yo Dawg, we heard you like gold and buffalo so we hooked you up with the complete package.
I cannot go to work today, the voices told me to stay home and clean my guns.

boom stickMaybe it was done by the competition to defame Chapius.
It's abhorrent.
Nothing a bastard file won't fix.
It looks like a gun Jim Carrey's character Lloyd in "Dumb and Dumber" would have ordered.
Someone please buy it and reverse the damage done to that fine rifle.

If they pay me the asking price I'd consider taking it and rectifying the cosmetic damages.
