Heym SR 20

[93marlin]

Does anyone here know much about these bolt guns by Heym.
I'm on the lookout for another left-handed rifle and these look good and interesting to me.
Any information about them would be great!

I have a 375 H&H SR20 left hand..I will sell
Smooth action, accurate rifle that to me at least it feels like it 'kicks' less than a 550 CZ 375 that I owned despite the sr20 being a lighter rifle... I attribute this to the heym stock design

There was a Heym sr20 on GB. A left-handed rifle also. It was a 270WCF and I didn't need a 270.

I have a full stock one in 9.3x62.....its a very nice rifle....you will be happy i think if you get one

 

[93marlin]

That's what the 270 was, full stock.
If it had been a 9.3 it would be mine

I’m here to tell you that the .30-06 Springfield variants were absolute tack drivers.

My first gun. Bought 1980 !
I shot the SR 20 Heym for over 20 years in calibre 6.5x57.
Left-handed system.
At that time there were hardly any offers for left-handed shooters.
A perfect gun.
The action is so smooth and soft - I have never had such a nice feeling as with this bolt action rifle.
You can't go wrong with it.
Nearby
The 6.5x57 is not necessarily a cartridge for driven hunts, but no rifle has ever suited me better than the SR 20 from Heym
And a good shot is the best calibre

I may be interested in your LH SR20 in a 375. What are your asking ?
Any dings scratch or marks on the stock? What condition is the blueing ?

A great rifle! I have had two of them, both left-hand. A 9,3x62 plus a .375 H & H. With the 375 I shot at near Alldays in the eighties a couple of nice kudu bulls.

I wish I had won the auction. But it wasn't meant to be.

I have a Heym SR20 in 7x57 and would never be without it

I have a half-stock SR20 in 9.3x62 and it is a very handy rifle....the fullstock version seems too heavy and awkward, maybe just unbalanced. That's the way it feels to me anyway.

Mmm....not sure why it feels like that at all....mine is balanced and compact....and not heavy at all...in fact quite light I would say....friends who have had a look at it say more or less the same....I don't like heavy or unbalanced rifles...

Also irons are not too bad either on mine..around 50 yards off cruiser bonnet....

I note that the Heym SR20 9.3x62 is a good half pound lighter than the same rifle in the smaller calibres (I have other SR20s in .308, 6.5x55, .243, etc.)
This is not due to differences in walnut density. I have weighed six Heym SR20 stocks, and they all weigh more or less the same.
I assume this 1/2 lb.+ lightness is because of the larger bore, yet with the same outside barrel dimensions, resulting in less barrel weight.
It results in a remarkably well-balanced and handy rifle.

My best bolt-action rifle to date. Unsurpassed in its smooth bolt action. Not a light weapon.
I had it in 6,5x57 caliber
For 20 years and was very happy with it.
Then a "very experienced hunter" advised me to shorten the barrel, and unfortunately it stopped firing good groups

 

[Aiden204]

My SR20 is a lefty & the stock is absolutely beautiful. Took a small white tail just last night with it. Very accurate with 150 grains in 300 WM. Action is astonishingly nice. I love it so much I’ve been looking for another

I recently sold my RH. 7x57 five shots in one ragged hole.
