Any Appetite for a New <$10K Double?

[A. Swan]

As someone that is on the fence between a Sabatti and a Merkel (price being a major factor), If a brand like Chapuis would release a sub $10K double in 450/400 it would convert me from a shopper to a buyer instantly.

450/400 gets my vote and I believe it would open a large untapped section of the market.

I realize that the AH crowd and people who actually hunt in Africa and other parts of the world are a small percentage of gun owners and hunters.
I am also shopping for a double rifle.
Having a double rifle in the 10k range and having it chambered in affordable ammo offerings is a selling point.
My thoughts on calibers.
A 375 H&H is decent offering. Covers that do all mind set, ammo is easy to find at a decent price. Easy to find reloading components.

A 375 H&H rimed would also be interesting.

The 45-70 does not appeal to me for a double rifle.

The 405 Winchester would be an interesting offering.

The 450-400 NE that would be the ticket. I don’t think it would affect sales for the other lines.
Like most things buying a double rifle is not a one and done. There is the entry purchase and then the follow up rifles.

Having the factory cut for a RMR or Docter would be a great selling point.
