    Finally, my Heym 89b, 577 NE

    Beautiful Double Frog Stealer. Cant wait to hear how it shoots. I would love to hear what your loads are when you find a few that regulate well. I have been on Chris about finding a supply of ammo and brass for the 577s if a few others get on him maybe we can have someone to keep a steady supply...

    Finally, my Heym 89b, 577 NE

    Congrats I should have my 577 about the same time or just behind yours. It shore seems like a lot of the new Heym 89b are being build in 577 nitro.

    Finally, my Heym 89b, 577 NE

    The 577 does have a premium over the others. I’m about 18 months out on mine. I don’t know what the starting price is but mine is grade two with a few added option and it was over 40k. It is a match to my 450/400 with the same option was over 30k if that gives you any idea.

    Traveling with a Double

    I have taken my double on five separate trips to Africa and have always had it broke down when traveling. I do it for a couple reasons as mentioned. For easy to show the serial numbers and I don’t like to have it cocked and springs depressed when traveling. I’m sure you could try to have the...

    Heym 89B

    From what I have gathered from my talks with Chris and Heym is there are 5 frame sizes if I recall a petite, light, standard, large, and the gross box being the biggest. I’m not sure on what all calibers go with which. I know when I ordered my 450/400 it could be had in the light or the larger...

    Caprivi Strip Maybe

    Karl Stumpfe of @ndumo HUNTING SAFARIS. Great outfitter and great guy. I think he also has more concessions there than any other outfitter. I hunted several years ago there with him and he would be my first choice if going back. I’m sure I will hunt with him again some day.

    Heym 577 89B Anyone Seen One???

    Regarding the Heyms in 577 from what I have been told is they use LFB ammo out of Germany as their regulation ammo. Unless you specify something different. I know my 89b in 577 is going to be regulated with LFB ammo according to Heym USA. To problem is know body is importing LFB ammo into the...

    338 WM -> 375HH -> 458 WM - Where does one go from here?

    Like other have said Book a hunt. But if you’re just looking to add to the collection I don’t blame you. If you’re sticking to bolt action maybe a 450 Rigby or a 505 Gibbs also a 50 BMG is fun as well. The next logical step thou would be to dabble in the DR world find a good 450-400 double or...

    Heym 577 89B Anyone Seen One???

    Brass is in slim supply. I hope someone can import some Reiner-horneber brass from Germany or some LFB ammo. It seems the only other option still in production in Bertram brass and it is 9-12 months or possible further and that is coming from Bertram USA. All the custom shops that load for it I...

    Becoming an experienced Dangerous / Big Game hunter

    For the average Joe. I would say first and foremost would be common sense and able to handle a firearm in a tight situation. Second I would think at least three different dangerous game hunts in three different areas and a minimum of 30 days in the field should give the common guy enough...

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    Pretty high insurance rate. Also being in Utah I would bring them in thru San Francisco. Your freight from there should be a lot cheaper. I’m in the salt lake area and bring my stuff thru San Francisco. I have a crate inbound thru there soon and another one that should be on its way in about 4...

    Heym 577? again

    I’m sure Chris will chime in with the definitive answer. But I’m pretty sure when I talked to him you could get the Gross box action in 470,500, and 577 in either the 88B or the 89B action that is there largest box lock action before going to the jumbo action. I do know the 89 B can defiantly be...

    Heym 89B

    I believe there is a difference from the grossbox frame and the jumbo frame. The Grossbox is the larger of the standard box lock frames. It the 470 and the African frame it puts the rifle at 10-10.5 lbs in the grossbox it adds about a Lb to that to put the rifle in the 11lb range. It also adds...

    Wanted 450/400 NE Double Rifle

    Bullets are in stock at grafs and sons or where a week ago. I have been bidding for ammo and brass on GB but they seem to go for extreme prices the last hour of bidding every time. Word from some reputable sources say hornady is due to run a lot of ammo mid 2022
