I am just kind of speechless.

I am just kind of speechless.

I join in with that comment an unbelievable art.

Guys instead of drooling there is a beautiful Heym listed here . At a bargain of a price. Compared to ordering one new

 

[AZDAVE]

The elephant engraving is exquisite.

 

[Red Leg]

I submit that more often than not they are ordered with a leather covered pad.

Believe me, I am completely in your camp!

I have no doubt that is true. And on a rifle otherwise showing such exquisite taste and sense of tradition .....

Well engraving is done. I nixed the case hardening on the action as I wanted the engraving to pop. Blueing and regulating left to finish. Amazing engraving work

I heard they hired their engraver from Sabatti. Kidding! Looks beautiful!

Respectfully, would the Rigby have all the bells and whistles of this Heym at that price point?

Wood, CCH, scroll, gold inlaid brand name

Me thinks this would be a $70k Shikari

very fair point!!!

Amazing!!! Is that elephant engraving done from a real elephant? Congratulations, I’m sure you cannot wait to have it in your hands.

Next year. I had some personal international trips this year other than hunting. Taking my third one in 3 weeks.

Now, that the rifle and the barrels are in the final polishing and then blacking stage and then the Harding receiver and parts it is time to discuss the case.
Here is the sample of one they did for someone else, mine would have space for an extra barrel and the red dot. Not sure about the orange color though.

 

[Altitude sickness]

I actually like the contrasting look. I doubt it’s as orange as it appears in that picture. probably natural leather color. It will darken. And can be darkened if you like.

You’re an elephant hunter. What about covering it in elephant hide

 

[DieJager]

I like the orange colored case but what @Altitude sickness said would be a great addition. Covered in elephant hide.
