Last year I saw an ad that I didn't pay much attention to, last week I saw that the ad was still active, yes, a year later... And I called by phone.

After asking all the doubts, today I have approached and thanks to the help that my old CZ550 458WM received me as part of payment I have launched myself to buy my first double...

I am very excited and I think it has been a good purchase, apart from the fact that it brings a lot of ammunition.....

The rifle in question is a heym 88b professional hunter with 2 barrels, the main one in 470NE and an additional one in 375H&H

I have been reading and rereading and rereading and in this forum themes and themes of 450/400 vs. 375H&H.... 470NE vs. 500NE.......

Well, I present to you my new toy.

I’d say if you got all of that for under 6000 Euros you did very well, congratulations!
 
Well done! The Heym 88b PH is a very good double, no frills, just pure dependable quality. You will not regret this purchase.

Congratulations and welcome to the club
 
Congratulations @homeless ! Very well done! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your new baby! :)
 
You got a fantastic deal! Welcome to the double rifle club.
 
Congrats. By the way, that’s not a PH model which is their lowest grade, but still a steal at €6000. You have a “normal grade” heym 88b with nice border engraving.

You stole it.
 
homeless.... Excellent rifle and an unbelievable price!

Here is a 4 barrel set (500, .470. 375H&H + 20ga shotgun) that is listed at $34,500 USD


This rifle may have a scope and other accessories that your rifle doesn't, but I think it shows just how great of a deal you made on the purchase.

Congratulations

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
