Heym 470NE 88B

[Skshyk]

Thanks for all the positive comments. This is truly a rare find in this condition and I would love to keep it. After my recent trip to Zim I took my Blaser and it got beat the hell up going trough the thick brush (pic below) hahaha. I couldn’t imagine beating my Heym’s plus I just have too much invested in guns right now. Yes it does have ejectors. Not exactly sure how to calculate the LOP but the pic below should help not sure if it’s from the front trigger or rear trigger some insight would be nice. Also it has 24” barrels. Please let me know if you need any other specific measurements. Thanks!

Did you drag the Blaser behind the truck??? Looks like it took a tumble down a cliff! LOL! Nice Heym BTW

Thank god I forgot my 500 ammo belt back at camp lol or else I would have had to drag my Heym through this stuff chasing buffalo. Disclaimer I have another Heym 500 I took to Africa not this 470 listed.

This will sell, if it hasn't already. However, If you wouldn't mind: Do you Know the Year this was Built apx?

Thank you.

I do not know what year it was built. But I will try looking it up.

I am so fortunate to find this rifle. If I’m lucky, I’ll send photos of a couple of buffaloes from next June in SA.
