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.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
