There's a VC is consideration. Have yet to seen Heym's 89 in 577
Many Thanks!
 
Why 577 and why a VC?

Addl: Where in God's green Earth can I find that "Acrylic Gun Display" ?

Thank you.

There's a member here "I Can't Thank Enough" that took the time to send close up's of VC's Big big Bores. Round Body vs. Imperial's etc...

I've had round body in .450 for 8 years now. I love it. I was about to buy a Heym 88b(the 89 hadn't come out yet or it might have been a different story) before I saw the VC round bodies. As you can see, I was smitten.

I'm partial to those VC Round Body's, and inquired any availability in 577. Congrats on a beautiful firearm, glad to hear!
 
Thanks and good luck on your quest for a .577 round body. Kebco LLC is the VC rep that I used when I had my .450 built. It took 6 months and I had some extras added. Just contact them and see if they do the round body in .577 and if so have one built the way you want it. :cool:

Thank You, I did speak with Ken .. great person to talk with regarding, well almost everything!
Imperial/Round Body, they are both beautiful builds.
 
Have you sent your deposit yet?
Ha! just awaiting photos & measurements right now.

At this point of insanity, I refuse to commit to a year + out build & I believe some distributers agree, they'd have a hard time giving an ETA, all things considered understandably.
The 88's cost is out of the equation "Jumbo" & this is the only photo of Heym's 89 in 577. ?!? idk.

I don't blame you for not wanting to commit right now.
That 89 is a beauty for sure.
 
Just saw a post where a member purchased the last New 577 RCBS dies on the planet, as their not making them anymore. Can see the trend, less I'm sadly mistaken, I believe the Big big bore renaissance is coming to an end?!..

I understand these are Big Game Firearm's, but they're works of art with an appreciation for their history and uniqueness. Thank you AH!

Love it! Any close ups of the engraving?

What is the deal on this one? SCI auction?
I could imagine "Game Scenes" would be a tough sell, limited to personal preference. I was looking for a 500, without exception. This was available upon enquiring, absolutely exquisite. A bit too much for my taste though, prefer a bit more simplicity.

I'm rambling, my mind wanders. Have this narrow fixation on doubles for some reason. Love side plates, Krieghoff had a unique example, grew on me. As Kevin stated once, Heym's 89 has an art "Art Deco" appearance. Before that, I couldn't figure out why I liked it ;

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
