This appears to be the same gun that was on Guns International. What is the story?

There is no story, I acquired the firearm in a trade with Cabela's.

Nice looking post war drilling.

The 7x75 SEVH is an interesting, high velocity round for a drilling.

Looks like the chokes are full and extra full which I undersand was common for pre-war German & Austrian shotguns as the normal target was hares.

Joel is a great guy. I bought the other drilling from him recently and met FTF. He represented it well and it was actually better than I expected. He went out of his way to meet us and to make it convenient for us. I have no hesitation giving him a strong reference.

ActionBob, Very nice reference.

Joel,
Any idea where one can get ammo for your 7x75 SEVH or even reloading dies?
It seems like an interesting cartridge if ammo is.

Here is a good article about the 7x75

A HEYM BOCKBÜCHSFLINTE | HUNTING-HERITAGE

This is a personal story of a Heym Combination Gun in Cal. 7×75 RSE vom Hofe and 16/70, some 45 years ago. It was my very first own gun as a hunter and I bought it in a Gunshop in Bonn, Germany…

I just ordered a set of reloading dies from CH tool and die. Delivery in 2 months. Cost $186.00 plus shipping. Brass can be made from 9.3 x74r which I have 50 pieces new.

PerH, Thank you for sharing the article and information about the 7x75r. That is a very nice Bockbuchsfinte.

Joel, that is great. The inclusion of the dies should help sell your nice drilling.

Last price drop before I send this one goes to auction. $3,400.00 shipped I know it’s a strange caliber but dies and brass are available.

Sorry for the typos I meant to say that I’m sending this gun to auction next week. My last price drop is $3,000.00 shipped. Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion. And thanks to everyone for the kind words about the gun !
