History

Chapuis Armes is a French family-owned gunmaking business dating to the early 20th century, located in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château near Saint-Étienne, the gunmaking center of France. The region has long been associated with producing exceptional barrels, and Chapuis has earned a fearsome reputation for producing double rifles of enviable quality. In March 2019, Chapuis Armes was acquired by Beretta Holding. Since January 1, 2021, Chapuis has been imported and marketed exclusively by Benelli USA. The company maintains its commitment to classy guns with impeccable handling, fit, and finish, producing shotguns and double rifles that rival the finest European makers.
