UKH - please can I ask for your opinion on the Chapuis .470. I own a Chapuis in 9.3 x 74R, which is a wonderful little rifle, handling like a shotgun and nicely fitted so recoil is not unpleasant. As an out-of-the-box product it is extraordinarily good - in fact, amongst the best rifles that I own. Gregor Woods, in 'Rifles for Africa' says that the Chapuis .470 is weighted towards the barrels and does not handle well.
I am currently reading Jim Corbett, and there is much mention of his 450/400!
