That is a beautiful rifle.
Is your question how much to ask for the rifle?
Or are you wanting to know how much to pay for the rifle?
Cem, where do you find these things? The price, somewhere between what you would pay for one and two 75 -100 HP John Deere tractors. If you buy it, make sure that you take sufficient ammo with you to hunt with. Without a doubt it would make a beautiful companion for your Mauser.
BTW don't you owe us a hunting report? I'm assuming that your harvest season is behind you and that you now have time to write it.
Besides, once you buy it you will not have to worry about how to mount a scope!!!! LOL
If that is a 460 Weatherby Magnum, then as a desired caliber it is a "drug" on the market. Very few hunters want it. Most PHs would look despairingly on any client that showed up with it. Heym makes excellent rifles and the engraving looks to be first class for a production rifle. Offer him $12,000 and see what his reaction is.

If it were another caliber, I'd be inclined to agree with you. The 460 Weatherby caliber detracts rather than adds to the desirability and therefore the value. Cem, I regard IvW's advice very highly. Maybe you should just walk away from this one.
We decided to walk away from it ) because of the caliber..Martini offers the Heym Express with mild engraving starting at about $9000 US. The level of engraving could be near what the rifle cost is by itself, but being that it was done probably as a bespoke, @Shootist43 's offer of 12k USD is fair to start the negotiations.
But I am definitely going to buy one of these when I grow up ))View attachment 203076
