Well now, if he buys the Heym, what then becomes of the Parker Hale .404?? Hmmmmm?

Well.....I DID buy the Heym 404. So....I gots some decisions to make!

My favorite make of rifle ( Winchester Model 70 ) and 1 of my favorite calibres : 7 × 57 Mauser. Congratulations on the new lovely addition to your battery. Do you plan to use Norma Orynx 152 grain soft points in it ? Or RWS 162 grain ammunition in it ? Either choices are very solid.

I think you may be worse than me!

Thanks! I will hand load ammo for it. I'll most likely load a 140 grain bullet for deer. If I were to use it for larger game, I'd use a 150 gr Swift or something similar.

I shot this rifle with the iron sights today. 25 yards only. Just wanted to check regulation of the sights. It shoots a bit high, so I will need to either adjust the rear sight down a bit, or install a taller front sight. I have a set of front sight inserts, so I may just install a taller insert, so the rear sight can stay all the way at the top. To me, that makes the rear sight easier to pick up in low light.

Thanks! I'll post pictures and a full write up when I get the Heym 404 in my hands. I had to have them ship it to me so I wouldn't have to pay sales tax in Texas.

Don’t blame you doing that, saves 9% or so. Looking forward to the pictures and review...

I installed the taller front sight insert today. Now she's dead on with the iron sights. Very sweet shooting little rifle in the perfect deer/PG caliber.

Take a look at my latest addition. Should make a great little Deer/PG rifle.
If it shoots as well as it looks, it will be a great rifle! Just need to add a scope. I'm thinking a 2-7×33 Leupold should fit nicely.

Nice rifle!

I have a 7X57 just like it and love it, it has a 2-7x33 Leupold on it and it's the right scope for the gun in my opinion.

This rifle was sold to another AH member. Maybe when he puts a scope on and shoots it a bit, he can give us a report on how she shoots!
