    Impossible to find used heym double rifle

    I have been following with interest, as my story is a little different. After more than 3 years of waiting, my Heym 89 finally waits for me to pick it up from the Heym agent in Australia. I had ordered a 89b in .500 nitro and payed for it directly from the Heym factory in Germany on the...

    .458 African caliber designed by Pierre van der Walt ( African Dangerous Game Cartridges) Any member using this .458 caliber ???

    I dont know this round that your looking at. But years back we had the 450 Guns&Ammo(G&A) and the 460 G&A both based on a 404 Jeffery. The only difference was one was full length the other was shorter so you could use a standard length (458win) length action versus a full length. Perhaps we...

    Selecting a Scope for the Highland Stalker

    I fitted a Z5 3.8-18 to my 275 highland stalker as that's what I had laying around. It's a bit more scope than I wanted but seemes to fit ok in the EAW scope mounts. I may change it to a Z3 3-9 sometime down the road.

    I appreciate your skepticism, hower I simply offered my advice and speak from many years of personal experience in dealing with KWS on the same. As I said the original poster should engage directly with KWS on the subject.

    .450 Rigby whats your opinion

    The new follower already installed I don't particularly want to remove it to take a photo. It basically thinner. If you look at the standard flower it's very thick compared to the new one. It just let's me load/camber a 4th round by striping it from the mag. The follower might need some slight...

To be honest I wasn't realy looking but I always said if one came up at the right price in 9.3x62 i would buy it to match my Rigby Big Game in 450. But this one was in 275...
