Pristine Chapuis Armes Elan 470 Nitro Express Double Rifle

Purchased with the intention of personally using/hunting with this rifle, however I've decided using old British Double is more important than using a modern double

Comes with Factory Hard Case, Cloth Slips, all paperwork, to include factory regulation target.
Rifle is regulated for Factory Federal Woodleigh Hydro Solids, and includes the flip-up/hide-away front sight.
Weight is 10.3lbs, with a factory LOP for 15.3" over a 1" factory install decelerator pad. 2.55" Drop at Heel & 1.57" Drop at Comb
AAA Grade 3 Circassian Walnut with cheek piece. Sling studs and swivels have not been installed
41 inch overall length, 24 inch barrels with ejectors. Rib is factory milled for a red dot
Receiver is coin finished with laser engraving

Item is Listed elsewhere for $17,199 however I'll make a deal with any active member of AH. I purchased rifle this last year before their new pricing went into effect and want someone on here with a dream of also hunting Africa to reap the rewards. I've sold multiple other double rifles to members of AH to include another Chapuis, a Merkel, and a Heym.

Excellent rifle and buy with confidence from an excellent seller.
 
Bump ... Make me an offer on this beautiful double rifle. The worst I can do is say no.
 
Beautiful rifle and a great forum member and knowledgable collector.
 
Agree wonderful secure seller. This rifle before price increase probably sold for $14,500. After taxes and shipping probably just north of $15,000. I have owned this exact gun only in 450-400 NE and it was superb craftsmanship!!! He is asking you to bring offers!!! DRs are scarce right now!!!!
