Impossible to find used heym double rifle

If you say so. Please share a reference to a legal news source, not Fox, CNN, or MSNBC.

I am aware of a uniform 10% global tariff, but nothing with high rates varying country by country as before, but it is outside of my practice area so could have easily missed it.

10% is still a tariff. The rates are different than under IEEPA but you still have a tariff. It is just under Section 122 authority.

We had tariffs before Trump and we will have tariffs after Trump. I imported a Heym Martini from Ralf Martini himself and paid a tariff on it. Biden was the president then.

Look, all I’m saying is you were not correct when you said there were no tariffs earlier. We’re at 10% so people need to take that into account

While imprecise, my intent was to respond to the comments about the "Trump tariffs" causing the high cost of a Heym rifle with punitive rates made up unilaterally by Trump. My post was addressing that idea as the Trump created politically punitive tariffs went away. I did state it went back to the previous framework. You can have the last word, the floor is yours.

I have a 450/400 Heym double 88b and wouldn’t sell it for the world.
I also have a 470 89b nothing wrong with the rifle but have sold it to a friend he shot a elephant last month with it
I truly believe Heym double rifles are extremely accurate and the best double i have ever owned.
Have you tried contacting Heym themselves.
Just be patient one will come up and it will be totally worth it.

 

[Tokoloshe Safaris]

I saw a 89b in South Africa it had 470 barrels and shot gun barrels i fell in love with it and wasn’t for sale i would still love that combo for Elephant and leopard back up

No one was saying anything about Trump just the tariffs were in place. The 10% incidentally was instituted by Trump, but it really doesn't matter who put it in place when you have to pay it.

Just to be clear 10% doesn’t appear the be the previous framework. Looks to have been 3-5%. So yea, to be factually correct, the tariffs did increase the cost. Down from where they were prior to court decision but still up from “liberation day”. They’re looking to reinstate them in full this year as well. We’ll see

1. I have had very good communications and discussions with Chris at Heym and while I have never bought a rifle from him(so never spent a penny with him yet), I would not hesitate to recommend him. His knowledge of doubles is vast and he has been kind enough to teach me quite alot.

2. So my guess is here in Texas, the gun is $32k sticker plus taxes and shipping and potentially tariffs. Taxes in Texas are 8.25%, shipping is going to add on at least another $100-200, perhaps more. I believe there is still a 10% baseline tariff. So my guess is this PH version will be $38k-ish when all is said and done.

3. Generic advice we all probably know buy dislike and sit in denial - they will never be cheaper. Ever. Maybe the tarrifs come off...that would be awesome. But the cost of goods and services is massively more sticky than what I was taught in university. I know recessions happen and folks may price cars and other luxury goods a bit cheaper but I believe the slow 2-5% annual March is on and has been dang near my whole life.

If you want a new ________, it will cost you more next year than this and while there are exceptions to this, hand/manual labor of a luxury product where demand outstrips supply by multiples, me thinks in 2 years time the starter price has a $4 handle.

Very well written sir.
All new Heym double rifles also now attract an inflation clause- example if it’s a 2.5 year wait and you pay your deposit - the total amount due will have an inflation amount included up to say 2028 (if ordered today). Then beyond that depending on global inflation that is not forecast 2 years from now will be added before release of the rifle.
Supply and demand !!
They are so highly regarded all over the world now including here in Australia. Everyone always looking, scrolling for sales. Anywhere and everywhere-

I don't understand the impossibility...

Thst rifle was sold long ago. They don't update their site.

Would they also lower they prices if dollar was stronger at the time they finished the rifle? I think not. An inflation clause would cause me to not buy the product. Rigby for sure does not do it. Price today is what you pay at the end (though it is third down, third when stock is done and final third when finished).

Maybe, hardly any near me FFL's post their rifles.

I've found some great deals at local gun shows on DG caliber rifles.


Here in Georgia (USA) I have ran across fantastic deals, on African rifles, because there is hardly any interest in them.


If a guy at a gun show has a table with a Heym 88B on it, you could probably get it for 2 Pre-64 Winchesters.






Here is a exhalable of what I've been able to get over the last few years at gun shows:


Winchester Model 70, .458 Win Mag - $500
CZ Model 550, 375 H&H - $
CZ Model., 458 Win Mag - $8

You bought a cz 550 in 375h&h for no dollars and a same action .458 for $8? You, my friend, are a magician...or fat fingered like myself.

Can say from feet on the ground, importing two Heyms from Germany that went through customs in April, post-Supreme Court decision, the net impact of the decision for my import was about a 1.5% savings. Germany was subject to a 15% tariff that was inclusive of the 3.5% duty.

After the Supremes said no-no, Trump imposed the uniform 10% tariff, but that’s exclusive of the 3.5% duty. For my taxes, fees, tariffs last month, it went from 15% to 13.5%. And I admit I’m in the camp that tariffs are stupid AF from an economic standpoint. It’s sold as some scheme to have these other countries pay to sell us goods, but we are the ones that will always pay. It hurts small business owners even more an only further drives up inflation that keeps interest rates high and stifles broader large scale investment.

I get the sales pitch of increasing incentive to bringing manufacturing back to America…but folks have to also recognize that manufacturing left America for a reason, and it’s not something that tariffs will fix within a few years. It is something that will take decades and best incentivized to tax breaks, subsidies and other proven methods states and other countries have used to secure commitment from large scale manufacturers in the past.

I blame Walmart and the American public. When people are willing to pay $65 instead of $6.98 for a t-shirt, then maybe the manufacturing will come back.

Exactly, but the general mom and pop won’t or can’t or whatever. Simple undeniable fact is labor is exponentially more expensive in the US than elsewhere. Then you have unionized labor, vested health and retirement plans schemes that worked swimmingly when your retired worker was lucky to see early 70’s but starts to cripple the system when their mean mortality creeps ever upward. (Example union autoworkers and fed bailout). It’s all for the better for US workforce and our fellow hard working Americans, but it’s an ever evolving and complex scenario that led to offshore manufacturing. And just like evolution, the only thing that works fast is a catastrophic failure.

So I see some forced scheme to right this scenario in promised lightening speed as nothing more than a sales pitch at best and sadly more logically akin to a path for a
Darwin Award. I would love to see more manufacturing to make its way back to the US. I’d love to see more small mom and pop stores to return to empty retail spaces in small and middle sized American towns, but reality is those are likely both things of the past. We will see the Walmarts and Amazons of the world flourish more and counties with super cheap labor benefit. Economically it makes sense.

Besides, can you imagine the injuries that would occur with our country’s emerging labor force, having to work a 8-12hr shift on a manufacturing line while doom scrolling their phones?

Tariffs are likely the key. Just keep manufacturing where it is because it’s safer for the emerging labor force who don’t want to exert labor, so just tax us for the cheap discount Amazon t-shirts and lousy made non-American made double rifles.

It is more than just the less expensive items. The other day I was getting an installer to come in and put a wall TV up. I realized I was short a power strip, at 2AM was when I thought of it. Ordered it from Amazon and it was at my door by 7AM.

I think it would make sense for big ticket items like cars etc. to bring them here (as a lot of auto manufacturing already occurs here). German assembly line workers make as much if not more than our workers.
