Hi Byron,
My DR is a Chapuis and is chambered in 9.3x74R. It has an upgraded european walnut stock, selective ejectors and QA swing scope mounts. They are a tight, well made DR, and IMHO the best buy in a DR of this power level, these days. The 9.3x74R is just about the perfect DR hunting cartridge for mid sized game too, especially now with more and more mfg's makeing components and ammo.
I bought it a couple years ago, and i've only fired Nosler factory ammo in it. It shoots very good and is regulated properly with 286 grain bullets.
I carried it deer hunting here on my place a couple times, and even though i had deer come out both times, i didn't shoot one with it as the deer i wanted didn't come out.
Anyway, i really DO like this DR, but it's set up for a right handed shooter, and i'm left handed. I'm seriously thinking of selling it,
and ordering one from Chapuis set up for LH use. I really hate to, as i doubt i'll get one that shoots as good as this one does, and certainly not with as good of quality of wood, with out paying a huge wood upgrade price.
Also, the last Chapuis 9.3's i've seen, came with Claro instead of European wood...
SO, this is probably going to be the first firearm i've ever sold, that i really didn't want to...but i can't afford another without selling this one...
