Chapuis Gévaudan 2000

The History of Chapuis

Chapuis Armes is a company that has been involved in the gun-making industry since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1934, Jean Louis Chapuis founded a small workshop in the Loire Valley, which gradually grew into a larger family business after World War 2. Initially, the company focused on making gun parts such as actions and barrels for the St. Etienne gun industry. However, the company quickly gained recognition for producing high-quality double rifles, and in the 1970s, they began manufacturing shotguns as well.

In the 1980s, Chapuis Armes moved its production to a more modern plant and incorporated CNC machines to enhance their production capabilities. The company has remained under the ownership and management of Jean Louis Chapuis's descendants throughout the century and in the 90s, Vincent and David Chapuis took over the management of the company.

Nowadays, Chapuis Armes produces high-quality rifles and shotguns in different configurations. The company's popular weapons include the Super Orion 3 series of over-and-under rifles, the Progress 3 series of side-by-side rifles, and the newly developed ROLS straight pull bolt action rifles, which are available in different finishes. They are also widely recognized for their premium shotguns, such as the FAISAN or CHASSEUR series. Besides their line of over/under and side-by-side rifles and shotguns, Chapuis Armes also manufactures the Manurhin double-action revolver since 1998.

Although the Beretta Holding Group acquired Chapuis Armes in 2019, the company continues to be run on a daily basis by David and Vincent Chapuis, the grandsons of the company's founder.

Chapuis Gévaudan 2000 Rifle Review

The Chapuis Gévaudan 2000 is a French-made bolt-action rifle available in three calibers: 7mm Rem. Mag., 9.3x62, and .300 Win. Mag. It features a blued steel barrel and a walnut stock with a pistol grip. The safety lever is positioned on the right upper side of the receiver and can be easily reached with the thumb. The rifle also has a box magazine that can hold four or five cartridges and a floorplate that is easy to open by pushing a small lever at its front end.

There are three variants available: Gévaudan 2000 Affut, Gévaudan 2000 Battue, and Gévaudan 2000 Battue Stutzen, for the users to choose from according to their preferences. The major difference between the variants is the choice of caliber and the barrel length.

The direct trigger comes at a factory pre-set pull weight. The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped to accommodate scope mounts. Additionally, the rifle is equipped with preinstalled iron sights with the rear one being available as a foldable sight or as a battue. It's worth noting that information about the Chapuis Gévaudan 2000 rifle can be scarce, but based on the available technical data, it appears to be a reliable bolt action rifle.

Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Chapuis Gévaudan 2000

Rifles That Have One-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Chapuis Gévaudan 2000

All the rifles listed in the category below have one-piece mounts interchangeable with Chapuis Gévaudan 2000. For one-piece mounts to fit on a rifle, mounting surfaces on these rifles must match in every dimension.

Rifles That Have Two-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Chapuis Gévaudan 2000

All the rifles listed in the category below have two-piece mounts interchangeable with Chapuis Gévaudan 2000. To meet interchangeability conditions, two-piece mounts must match in all dimensions except the B distance. B distance can vary because two-piece mounts can be installed and adjusted closer or further apart.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find specific information about the interchangeability of scope mounts for the Chapui Gévaudan 2000 rifle. This is due to the fact that the rifle's receiver features specific dimensions that may not be compatible with other scope mounts.

While the BHU and distance between the holes on the Chapui Gévaudan 2000 rifle may be similar to those on the Chapuis Gévaudan 2000 rifle, the radiuses are different. This suggests that scope mounts may not be interchangeable between the two rifles. Therefore, we recommend using scope mounts that are designed specifically for the Chapui Gévaudan 2000 rifle to ensure proper fit and function.
