My dirty old carpet

[Lakebranch338]

Just look at it! Never mind the Heym M98 in 375 H&H that happens to lie on it..

 

[Lakebranch338]

It got some issues though. The Heym that is.

The proofmarkings above. Is it made september 1965 or?

Is the stock really original? How about the tang safety? All information would be appreciated!

And also.. it did come with a ballistic chart mounted on the cheek piece

I didn't look at the carpet but, I sure see a nice Heym!

I'm sure that any issues the Heym has can easily be corrected. I assume it is a new purchase or about to become one.

For sure. Its only some cracks in the stock that is a real issue.

Got it today! But i might sell it.. i got alot of other projects going on.
But hey, i might keep it to..

I would keep it, just love Heyms, like the one in my avatar

And you got a fine rifle Sir.
It might get to stay. I would really say that it depends upon the price. And honestly, as of now, i dont need the money.

If it stays i would probably put it in a laminated stock with a timney trigger.

Thats the truth. However i also own a M70 in 375 H&H.
So, this one is..well, unnecessary. Especially since i got a Sako 85 in 9,3x62 coming in soon to.

But then i realised that the mag takes 5 cartridges. That would be great on a driven hunt. Just imagine that one in laminated stock and a Khales Helia 1-5 on it..

Hard to beat.

Send the Sako back for a refund and use the money to do it up and the change to go for a hunt.
