Thank You, would love know!

I bet Mr. Peacock has.

If not, he can surely send pictures.....

Yes. A good friend of mine who lives in Zim has one. It has accounted for more than a few elephant and buffalo over the last couple of years. I helped him order it directly from Heym, and it was made to his measurements with ejectors, nice wood, border engraving and 26" barrels. A South African retailer has one on order as well, although I'm not sure when it will be finished and ready for export.

Thanks, hoping it will be finished within the next few months. How’s your VC working out? Have you taken her on safari yet?

No, not yet .. it hasn't been fired.
Short of a member here willing to part with his ammo, I exhausted almost all recourses. "Colorado custom Cartridges" was finally able to load 19 rounds of Bertram/Woodleigh. 650grn @ 1850 fps.

Ideal or not? .. it's something.
I'm still taken by the sheer engineering, rifling, etc. on these monstrosities, a breed apart.
Thank you again & keep us posted.

That's a shame.

I sent an email to see if I can find you an avenue that may, may, work. If it turns out to be a possible ammo route I will let you know.

The .577 88 doesn't have to be on a Jumbo Frame? .. An older thread showed the .577 88 available on their "Large" frame .. Thank you.

I hate to pry, however, I was wondering if there's been any update toward the delivery of your 89 or pics? .. still extremely looking forward to seeing more of it. Beautiful machine ..
