Good morning
When the Chapuis Iphisi came out I looked at it at the DSC or SCI show that year (Don't remember which one)
I have owned and shot several Chapuis double over the years and My 9.3 RGEX is my favorite rifle I own. Last year after our Mozambique safari my wife mention she might want to try a double at some point) She shoots her 375H&H bolt gun very well. So at SCI this year I mention to @Tom Leoni that if he knew where I could find a slightly used Iphisi I would be interested in buying one. I put my BRNO 602 up for sale and hoped I could track down a Iphisi. Well a couple months go by and Tom sends me a message that he located me a double and help me get in contact with the seller and I made the purchase. It arrived at my FFL and I was able to pick it up Tuesday this week. I have had a spare butt stock on the shelf in the shop that i bought from WLM in scottsdale several years ago as a back up for my other Chapuis, in case I ever broke a stock. Well it will now become the HER's stock for this double and I will keep the stock on the double currently as mine. Picked up a box of the hornaday rounds it was regulated with and will see how it shoots next week. Then will develop loads for my normal hunting and practice bullets.
I also want to thank @Tom Leoni for his help and @ActionBob and @Just Gina for the posts they put up when she first bought her's.
Will post again after I have the opportunity to shoot it.
