Presently none available in calibers larger than 375HH on GB and GI. Caveat emptor, a few of the recently sold ones were problematic/restored rifles covered in posts on this forum.

Keep looking and pounce instantly when you find the perfect example for you. They are great rifles.

That one sold within the first hour of its listing which makes sense considering it was underpriced. I don't know why Champlin leaves their ads up for months or years after a sale, but it is his MO. Very little of his listed items remain unsold.

Ugh ok.
 
Shy in saying this, but because of a motorcycle accident, and a busted right shoulder (that I won’t pin back together and try to fix), I have a plain jane beauty, .450 NE, Heym 88b, that I might not be needing anymore. She has a few buff and elephants to her name- and no bad habits. Not really interested in tire kickers.. but someone who knows what they want, and knows the state of the nation- I might have one for sale… bummer is my Lotts, .500’s and .505 might be in same boat. I love the big bores!.. but God almighty put a new reality in my life… age and mortality! Thank goodness for the 9.3x62 and .375 HH!

Not an 88b, and not used, but I will have a new 89b 470 for sale here very shortly. I am importing a pair of new rifles from Germany. The retailer had a case colored 500 that I wanted, and also a border scroll 470 that had exactly my taste in upgraded wood. Lots of flowing mineral lines.

I just received word from the exporter that my application is approved, and rifles should catch a flight to the US sometime later this week. Griffin & Howe is handling the import and their agent said they think I may have them in hand before I depart for Zimbabwe on the 16th. We'll see, as I think that might prove a bit ambitious since G&H still has to do their import markings and ship to me in Alaska.

Not planning on listing the 470 until I have it in hand just to make sure it arrived safely and have all the taxes and tariffs nailed down. Was not planning to price with a big premium as we sometimes see for saving the wait/build time, plan to price it as it would cost taking delivery of a new gun this year, and just save someone the wait as a bonus. Originally thought I would hold onto it for a year or three and play with it some, but just not sure I need a 470 again and have other wants and needs. Seems like a better rifle to pass along to someone who will try to hunt the rifling out of it.
 
HBartley just put his up for sale. See post.

Thread 'For Sale Unfired Heym 88B 375 h&h PH/Safari Model'

Ive decided to put up for sale my Heym 88b chambered in 375 h&h.This is the PH/Safari model 88B. It has never been fired. I bought it from a forum member here several months ago and have since acquired a few other rifles that I will be shooting instead of this rifle.The double is new and in a custom leather locking case.

I originally planned on taking the rifle to JJ Perodeau and having it fitted to me (Im a lefty) but couldn't bring myself to alter such a beautiful piece not knowing if I was even going to like shooting a double. The rifle comes in the case with the papers from the...

I really wish they would update their listings. I know they want to generate phone calls but frankly it makes me not even look at their website anymore.
