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.
 
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE

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.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

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
