Truly hate to sell this rifle, but seeing as that I'll likely not return to Africa in the foreseeable future and with the Tax Man, Accountants, and Attorney lining up this year with their hands out.... forces me to list. My loss is your gain. Gently used Chapuis RGEX 9,3x74R DR 14.5" LOP Single trigger instead of typical double trigger setup. Perhaps 100 rounds run through the rifle Was regulated with a Leupold VX-III 1.75-6x32mm scope I will include both 30mm and 1" QD Rings. Also included is an America Case and Dunn canvas cover for case. $5250 shipped within USA to your FFL. Please ensure your FFL will accept transfer from a non FFL holder. Please excuse the poor lighting and my photography skills. Pictures do not do this DR justice. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060001_zpsiqb9xibl.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060005_zpsxsvimodm.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060006_zpsj94r4v7s.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060007_zps1cpd7drl.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060008_zpsowd21g3r.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/Misc/Rifles/Chapuis/P3060009_zps4qritzbg.jpg)

WOW... That is a piece of art. Very nice wood. Sure wish I had a spare $5k
I'm sure that this will make someone a very happy hunter.

Exceptional wood, must have been hand picked.
Has anyone seen this grade of wood on these rifles...?
Hate you have to sell it, great deal for someone.

You're killing me FOst!
I can afford the rifle, or I could afford an abbreviated safari, but I can't afford both.
What a beauty, much nicer than the one I had to give up while in dire straits myself.
Best of luck to you, my friend.

Check'em out on line, i.e. Guns International, etc.
This same gun is trending at $6,500-7,000, none have wood this fancy, no rings (two sets here), no case, no case cover, no single trigger, etc.
This is a good deal.
Wish I needed it.

That is nice DF, I'd try to regulate it with some fat nosed 286 gr Woodleighs and go bash some game.

DF LOL, I only lean on my doubles to the point of regulation, wish they treated me with the same kindness on the buttstock end.  I've read where men scope these 9.3 doubles and routinely kill all manner of game out to 250 yards, a lot of flexibility here Gentlemen. TTT for a fine little hunting rifle.

That reminds me of Trump calling Romney a "small businessman"... To you, the 9.3x74R may be little. To me, it's pretty big... DF
