Doubles on the way….

[Rare Breed]

Just got me fifth DR back from JJ and it is now perfect! Listen to @redleg on this. I always send my DRs to JJ and he has not failed to have to fix something when the seller said it was “perfect”

Nice rifles. I'm not envious.
No really.
I dream of a Heym 89B, 450-400 Nitro, much like Kevin Peacocke's, 26 inch barrels, only change is Case Hardened frame.

Enjoy the hunts.

Sprayed some Rem oil in the action and it opened up but definitely will sending both rifles to JJ for a strip and clean. I just got my Heym 500 back from him about a month ago functions much better.

Send it to JJ Perodeau and he'll do whatever is necessary to make it a trustworthy rifle. (And never ever do the math of the rifle, RIA buyers' premium, shipping, and repair).

Tell me about I had a sticker shock when I got the invoice, RIA fee's add up! I rather just buy from JJ directly next time.

Having bought two DRs outside the US and sending them both then to JJ, the following were the average extra costs:
1. Shipping to US $1200
2. JJ average repair $1250

JJ nor George really have great deals on their DRs for sale but you know my above two costs are not needed given rest assured they are in perfect shape.

For myself, I am like @redleg…the above had no bearing on my buy decision at all but it should help you with your buying decision if it matters to you. Hope this helps

Completely agree with the advice from Red Leg and Rare Breed. I too sent my Heym to JJ for work. He did a great job and now the rifle fits me great and works flawlessly. JJ is absolutely the guy to send your DR's to.
