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!

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
