Chapuis X4

About the Chapuis X4

The Chapuis X4 is a French side-by-side double rifle built on a scalloped box-lock action derived from Chapuis's Progress 28-gauge frame, paired with lightweight 22-inch barrels for a total weight of around six pounds. Chambered in 9.3x74R and .30-06 Springfield, it is a two-shot break-action big-game rifle with double triggers, automatic ejectors, adjustable standing rear and ramp front sights, a manual safety and a laser-engraved coin-finished receiver. Its defining feature is a patent-pending adjustable guiding ring at the muzzles that lets the free-floating right barrel be re-regulated to fine-tune barrel convergence for different loads without soldering, refinishing or traditional gunsmithing.

Chapuis Armes, a family gunmaker founded in the Loire valley town of Saint-Bonnet-le-Chateau and acquired by Beretta Holding in 2019, unveiled the X4 as a modern take on the classic express double rifle, its user-adjustable barrel regulation solving the century-old problem of tuning a two-barrel rifle to shoot both barrels to the same point of impact.
