Be careful posting this kind of stuff. I’d like to get a David Lloyd rifle soon and I don’t want any extra competition driving the prices up!

After handling both rifles side by side at Safari Outdoor when I was in South Africa a couple of months ago my vote goes to the Heym. It just felt better!

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been seriously considering Coutada 9 with Mokore for other game but didn’t realize the Eland hunting was that good!

As usual this forum is full of helpful people. Thanks for the suggestions! I had been considering Mozambique or Namibia. I hadn’t really looked at Botswana but I will now. I now have a few specific outfitters in Botswana and Mozambique to look at. Does anyone have any specific recommendations...

I’m interested in doing an Eland hunt. I’d like it to be a traditional tracking style hunt. I would appreciate some input on where the best places are to do this. If it was in an area with good bushbuck hunting that would be a bonus ! I should also mention that although I’m sure I’d love it...

Thanks !

Could you please let me know what mount you are using for your aimpoint? I’m looking to mount one on my model 88b !

While visiting his shop I recently had a conversation with Eugene Combrink at Sabi Custom Rifles about installing these rings on a Krieghoff double. He advised me that some fitting may be required to obtain the correct tension to allow the front ring to be turned into the base. He told me that...

Kevin, I had the pleasure of comparing the same rifles there a couple of weeks ago and I agree completely. The Heym would be my choice hands down. Likewise I compared a Rigby Shikari which they had in stock to a Heym 89b. I found that I liked the Rigby and Heym doubles about equally, but the...

I bought a Heym sidelock .375 at auction in the UK and a very nice Krieghoff 500/416 from a dealer in Spain and imported them. I am in Canada and it is very easy to import a hunting rifle, I understand it’s harder in the USA but I saved a lot of money by buying overseas and importing them.

That looks like everything a .404 should be. I’d love to find a nice .404 on a standard length action like that.

Looks interesting !!

Interesting, Wilson Combat chambers their version of the rifle in 350 legend and I think it would be a great rifle for my boys. Light weight, less recoil than a .243 but lots of power for deer within any range they would be shooting.

The unfinished three leaf sight is out of stock at NECG. But the finished sight with the base as a set is in stock.

Honestly there are lots of good straight pull rifles. My first was a Heym SR30, it was well made and accurate but ultimately I ended up going the Blaser R8 route and am very happy. I have a variety of stocks, barrels and scopes/red dots that I can mix and match to suit anything I might...
