Like New Chapuis Elan Classic 470 NE

Do you have a real target with the load it likes. That helps sell a double

Great price on a great double. Very tempting to a Chapuis fan like me.

 

[etsonaut]

If I didn’t buy a double last week I probably would have bought this one

I started to list last week and never got around to it. I’m sorry for you and me… What did you buy?

That is the target that came from Chapuis with it. Federal Woodleigh Solid 500 GR is on the bottom of the target. I do not have a target I’ve shot. I have been shooting Hornady DGX with it. I have also shot a few Barnes. Can’t tell much difference in them.

That is a nice looking double. Chapuis makes a good rifle. My 9.3x74 is my favorite rifle I own. You have a very fair price, someone with get a good deal and a fine rifle.

AZDAVE, agree - I paid $14,000 for mine 18 years ago - wish I could’ve found a good used back then….would of put the savings into another Safari

I believe that to be true as well. But, not being a hand loader I am at the mercy of the factory offerings. Maybe someday I’ll change that…

You will do very well with the .450/400. I love mine. It is vastly easier to shoot.

Thank you!

I should have pointed out that I am in Chattanooga, TN area in case anyone wants to see this gun in person. Thanks!

The Chapuis I own and the ones I’ve seen are all “elegant” looking and in appearance match the looks of some very fine English double rifles. I found them less “clunky” than some other double rifles I tried and fired —- thats my opinion…also I couldn’t afford a Holland & Holland

In the listing I mentioned I had ammo and brass that I would include. I also started the total round count was 20. I was a little off and it's actually 29.

The specifics are as follows:

68 Rounds of 500 Grain Barnes TSX - Purchased 3 full boxes and one partial box on here from @ActionBob

16 Rounds of Hendershot's Extreme with 500 Grain Barnes TSX

Also the following Brass:

20 Hornady DGX Once Fired Cases
5 Barnes Once Fired Cases
4 Hendershot's Extreme Once Fired (I think Bertram's)

It did not. I’ve had a couple of offers but I still own it.

 

[freefall]

If I could afford a Rolex, I would own this rifle.

I have this same rifle but with a few different features. I developed three loads for using 500gr projectiles. North Fork SS soft, North Fork Cup Point Solid (CPS) and Swift A-Frames. Each of them produces shots with 1" spacing between them which is quite close to the spacing center to center of the barrels. A little more powder and the shots will touch, but I'm sticking with the 1" spread loads. This is at 50 yards.

 

[etsonaut]

Still available..

 

[etsonaut]

Rifle is sold.
