My first double rifle

[homeless]

Last year I saw an ad that I didn't pay much attention to, last week I saw that the ad was still active, yes, a year later... And I called by phone.

After asking all the doubts, today I have approached and thanks to the help that my old CZ550 458WM received me as part of payment I have launched myself to buy my first double...

I am very excited and I think it has been a good purchase, apart from the fact that it brings a lot of ammunition.....

The rifle in question is a heym 88b professional hunter with 2 barrels, the main one in 470NE and an additional one in 375H&H

I have been reading and rereading and rereading and in this forum themes and themes of 450/400 vs. 375H&H.... 470NE vs. 500NE.......

Well, I present to you my new toy.

I’d say if you got all of that for under 6000 Euros you did very well, congratulations!

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Heym 88b with two sets of barrels for 6000 euros is a bargain.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Well done! The Heym 88b PH is a very good double, no frills, just pure dependable quality. You will not regret this purchase.

Amazing set up. Can you scope the 375?

Did you lay hands on it yet?

 

[Tanks]

Hell of a deal. They got robbed.

I pick it up tomorrow
I have a leica 1.5-8x32 prepared but I still don't know how to mount it

Claw mounts, have a competent double rifle gunsmith do it.

Claw mounts, have a competent double rifle gunsmith do it.

Thank you very much to all.

Does anyone know about Ziegler mounts?

The last at the moment....

So this actually worked out and you got this for that price? Wasn't a scam.

Seems a miracle has taken place, congrats, that is fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

 

[AZDAVE]

You got a fantastic deal! Welcome to the double rifle club.

 

[rookhawk]

Congrats. By the way, that’s not a PH model which is their lowest grade, but still a steal at €6000. You have a “normal grade” heym 88b with nice border engraving.

You stole it.

This rifle may have a scope and other accessories that your rifle doesn't, but I think it shows just how great of a deal you made on the purchase.

Congratulations
