None, I do not prefer rifles without a Iron sight. For me it comes as part of the rifle. Although I have a rifle that does not have a iron sight..just wanted to try it out.

very informative Sir.

CPS = Cup point solid, thats what I feel NF refers to them :)

Awesome report, Bos en Dal rocks!

Massive bulls, good to see u here officially.

Agreed, was said more in Jest. Importing it afterwards doing due dilligence the will not take 3 years (Heyms wait period) and with all expenses minus VAT will come under 30K.

For a new gun that is and a 89B not a old 88B. Not necessary you have go through all this, time your safari buffalo hunt accordingly spend a day in Pretoria and bring the gun back with you and pay the customs charge of 1-1.5 K. How about that? Or better, if you are used to double, buy some...

I do see your point. Most DB rifle makers of today use CNC machines in a good way. Milling has come a long way since the days of bygone era where most of the stuff was made by hand. Added to this I have lot of respect to the German engineering prowess which is just tops. Sometimes they do tend...

For reference a new Heym 89B big bore double at safari outdoors Pretoria SA is listed around 30K USD. Prices there are higher and I understand it is SA. Even if you add import fees 1-1.5K you have an idea of the cost of a new 89B Heym gun.

For PG as long as it shoots well and kills instantly or within a short time/distance how does weight retention of the bullet matter? Your arenot going to reload the bullet again :)

Could very well be true. The same applies to many double rifles makers in UK. Recently I was enquiring about the Essencia double rifles was told there is 3 year wait, even the classic Big five is a 1-2 year wait

Tariff on European goods adds to it

Nope thats a overkill for me :) but I do have a 470 NE

Ofcourse, very much.

Man can I be your assistant and shoot some too?
