Picked up my Heym Martini Express 416 Rigby a couple days ago. It does appear to be in new condition as described online. Having never handled one before, it is a very slim rifle and feels very lively in my hands compared to the CZ 550 and Brno’s I have. Really nicely put together rifle.

I went ahead and ordered some Talley QD 30mm 19mm rings and a Leupold Patrol 6HD 1-6x24mm 30mm Fire Dot Duplex scope from EuroOptic, they still have them on sale for $699, I’m shocked they still have them. I think this will make an ideal setup and I look forward to putting some rounds down range.

Outstanding acquisition and excellent choice of scope!!!! Love the wood grain! Well done and congratulations!!!
 
Ralf Martini, who designed that rifle, has left his own business which he formerly carried on in British Columbia, and has moved to Hamburg, where he's now doing the same for Hartmann & Weiss.

While Ralf is German, he has a special affinity for English rifle design, and that was what he modelled the Heym by Martini on. A wonderful rifle - I hope you have many adventures with it!
 
Ypu all that know these rifles, what are give aways, design wise, that are different on the martini versus their previous version?
 
Thanks gents, as some or maybe most of you already know, it was a once in a lifetime acquisition for the price! I’m kind of a CZ/ Brno, Winchester M70 kinda guy, so actually handling a nice high quality rifle like this is really cool. I really am looking forward to getting the scope mounted and shooting it!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
