For Sale Heym Express Martini 404 Jeffery

[TOBY458]

Low ball prices are how you get to keep the cheese. That and not becoming emotionally attached and walking away.

In all seriousness, I do want a rifle such as this one at least once in my life. The plan for me is to buy one at retirement if I'm able to and then to enjoy it for the rest of my days. Whether it will be a bolt or double remains to be seen!

Why wait until you retire? You could be using it on your current safaris. I wonder if Heym makes a left handed bolt gun?

With the logic being thrown around on this forum, it leads me to ask myself.....If everyone thinks so highly of this rifle, why hasn't anyone attempted to make a reasonable offer? Hint hint.....

To show you where my priorities are, I am 22 and own 4 guns more expensive than my truck.

Just the way it should be!

I don't think they do?

Rigby does though (not in the highland stalker).

As far as why wait, for me it's simple. It's something special I will have earned. I tend to view rifles more as tools and have the appropriate tools now that I use, and I'm very comfortable with each one. I see no need to change.

But when I have "earned " it I will enjoy it and hunt with it. No matter how pretty it is I assure you it will get used!

All that says is that you have a truck that was built when GOOD trucks were made.

 

[Ray B]

So do I. '86 F350, 460 cu 4x4 with AirLockers, 17x12 weld wheels & 36x12 Krawlers & when my son gets it done, a front full brushguard with winch.

 

[Wyatt Smith]

Nice @Ray B Mines a 91, white and more beat up. Love that 460 power, and hate that 460 gas mileage.

What if I told you I was going to buy a double rifle with the proceeds? Would that help me exit the hall of shame???

What another double!!??

That Highland Stalker is one fine feeling rifle. I considered buying one of those in 9.3x62 instead of the Heym. I, like you, have plenty of rifles that will do the job. And, most of them have enough "notches" so as not to be sold. It's kind of hard for me to part with rifles that have been used on Safaris, and are present in the photos from those safaris. If I've never used a particular gun for anything other than fondling material, I really don't care either way. If I had used this Heym on a safari, and had taken game with it, I could probably never sell it at that point. I just know myself, and I would probably always reach for a synthetic stocked, lightweight rifle, when is comes time to fill out the 4457. So, I feel like someone else could probably make better use of the Heym than I could or would. But man.....that walnut stock sure would look nice propped up against an Ele....

What another double!!??

Who? Me??? No! Never! Wouldn't even consider it.

You seem to have talked yourself into keeping the dear 404

AH wouldn't allow me to have a raffle. It involves too much red tape.

Absolutely!

 

[TOBY458]

Fine start Wyatt! Well unless your truck is a huge POS! I have owned a couple of trucks that were equal to a couple 6.5 carcanos and a mossberg 500 hanging in the back window was probably the most valuable part of the vehicle if you were to salvage it out! I think nobody ever stole anything out of it because they felt sorry for me.

 

[Wyatt Smith]

It’s worth what a brand new Winchester safari express is worth. Or my Sig P226. At any given minute there can be 4 times the value of the truck in chainsaws, tools, and guns. Riding in it.
