Wow. Wow. What a rifle! I'm sure the price is out of my reach. @rookhawk or @Red Leg might know.
 
Oh my, that is a beautiful rifle! I'm sure the price is out of my reach, too. I am curious what someone with knowledge believes it is worth.
 
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?

How much to
Pay . I really would appreciate the help
 
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

The harvest has not finished yet . I just came back home to harvest cotton . Tomorrow I am flying back to Russia to continue harvesting.
It will take me another month or so to finish in ideal circumstances..
Today in Istanbul I visited my gun shop and they offered this rifle to me ..
what do you think it is worth ? I fell in love with it but I really do not know how much should I pay for it . They told me to make an offer ..the rifle is brand new ..
by the way these guys are a boutique shop they only handle custom guns ..
John Deere 100 hp price will be way to much for this rifle :))) ..
They will also Throw in 120'bullets in the deal :)
 
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.

Yes it is .. 12 000 will be a little on the very low side . Maybe 15 000 ?
We have about 120% import tax on these babies:)

Agreed. Except on the offer price.

Not being a collector I would pay $0 for any 460 Weatherby.
 
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.

Thx guys .. I will walk away ..
 
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.

Edit. Just saw a few more posts come in, noted on your decision to walk away.

We decided to walk away from it :)) because of the caliber..
 
By the way they said they paid 10 000 euros for the engraving .. it was done by some Italian guy ..

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
