Heym Model 89b Chambered In 500 NE

[matt85]

I've decided to sell my Heym model 89b double in 500 NE. It's a beautiful gun that shoots great, but I've decided I really want an 8 bore rifle and the only way I can afford that is if I sell this. My asking price is $28,000.00 but I would entertain the idea of a trade for an 8 bore rifle . The gun is equipped to accept a QD mount for a Trijicon RMR and the mount will be included with the gun. I also have some hand loading supplies I will include with the purchase (dies, brass, bullets).

Very nice double, beautiful stock! Good luck with the sale.

Wow, what a beautiful rifle...if only it was left handed I would have already bought it! The wood is fantastic. What grade of wood is it per Heym?

I don't remember exactly.

This rifle is nearing the max grade for the model 89b. I picked my own stock blank from a line-up. I think I could have stepped up one grade on the wood and I could have done the picture style engraving.

A fine double.

It is spectacular that is for sure. Thanks for the reply!

I have a new 89B with a few less options importing from Canada at this time. Can't wait to get it. However, I would have had to buy this one if it was on the market about 6 weeks ago! Great rifle!!! You'll sell it quickly.

 

[ay2626]

Stunning rifle. Good luck with your sale. Great opportunity for anyone who is looking to bypass a fairly long lead time to have one built new.

Good evening @matt85

Is it a custom stock dimensions or factory OEM dimensions? If the former what are the stock dimensions, including LOP?
