I am looking for another Double. My preference would be something modern Heym or VC in 450 or 500. The right vintage Double in same caliber is also an option. Currently have a vintage in 450-400 that is getting a new stock 19 weeks out. Stock cracked in Africa in June this year and going back in October. Other is a 577 that gets heavy. Looking to fill the gap.

It is great to hear that you used your 450/400 vintage double in Africa SBW, what make is it?
As to the next one up, I suppose the 470 makes sense, but calibre apart you can't go wrong with a Heym.

I mean, if specifically looking for a Heym 450, and don’t mind an 89b with fantastic wood in unfired condition, this doesn’t seem to miss the mark….at least worth considering.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
