For me, trophies are not measured in inches. Hunting equals conversation and shooting an old specimen that has passed his genetics and will provide protein that was hunted the right way will always be a trophy. Nothing wrong with telling someone that their beautiful trophy won't make the books.

If I could afford a Rigby, I wouldn't buy anything else.

I won't say more about Heym Rifles then the USA franchise is ruining their reputation. Too bad, Heym makes a great double rifle.

500 NE.... Thx!

72 Hours to Wheels Up! Hope to find one of these guys in the bush this year too!

La Aroma produces some excellent cigars and a very reasonable price point!

Again. I didn't ask for your 2 cents and certainly don't need you to tell me how to "phrase my question". I suspect that Longrifle and I could entertain a somewhat meaningful intelligent conversation without your unsolicited input.

Thanks for Tolling (very accurate at that with Post #14 being called out) and keeping me in line. But I didn't ask for your 2 cents. I was asking Longrifle what the wait is today. Not 2020 or 2023.

How long is the wait period on a new Heym double build these days?

Hornady and others that produce reloading equipment haver some great videos online. Read, read & read some more on accredited websites. I've been doing it for 50 years and still feel like there is much to learn!

Two BEAUTIFUL Doubles! Every animal in Africa just shivered with fear! I'm headed back with my 500 NE this week. Cant wait. Heym makes a nice double.

Fantastic! Keep us abreast of the builds (with pictures)!!!

Bring layers of your favorite water and wind resistant clothing. Thin light layers....

Great Elk!

My 2 cents (and it's not worth a cup of coffee). If you are lucky enough to have access to true world class modern medicine and practice proactive medical appts and meds one would have a good chance of extending and living a better quality life. Naturally best practice daily habits are key...
