My Heym 88B in 9.3x74R is in my hands finally...

[Tanks]

The rifle arrived at my FFL about 12 days ago and I went through the CA registration process and finally picked it up today (10 day wait plus weekend). So, 6 months and a week from order to in my hands.

Overall very happy with it. Fits real well. It has the claw mounts and once at the range I will probably put a comb sleeve with some padding on it. The comb is a compromise, works with red dot and sights but will be a bit low for scope I believe.

It also feels very light compared to my .500 NE, though with the scope on it would probably be about the same.

Heading to CBP tomorrow for the 4457s.

Here are a couple of quick pics, I ordered it with standard engraving.

Beauty of a rifle anyone would be proud to own!!

Very nice. I love the wood. This and your .500 will make a great combo.

Beautiful rifle!

 

[double rifle newbie]

beautiful gun. i think the 9.3 is a fantastic cartridge for PG and thin skinned DG, and pairs wonderfully with your 500 for DG. i have a 9.3 and a 450 NE so we think a lot alike. i plan on bring both to namibia next year.

 

[Chris Sells]

Looks great, Andy! The wood turned out awesome. It's a perfect companion to your 500 (I find the 9.3 to be less finicky than the 375.) Good luck on your hunt!

Stunning wood. Congratulations

That is a gorgeous looking stock on that double, good luck on your hunt

Lovely lean elegant thing. Did it come with fitted rings for those bases?

Yes. I had sent my scope to Heym in Germany for them to regulate the firearm with the scope on it. The scope has the rings. Wednesday I will be at the range testing it all out.
