The double has arrived

[Red Leg]

With @WAB on this one. It is just another thing until it is photographed next to one of those great black beasts. Then it will bear a bit of his and your soul into the future.

Congratulations Kevin! We have all been longing together for her arrival! As @WAB put it: next step is a buffalo!

Love that first picture with the rifle stand, very classy!

 

[degoins]

Gorgeous!!! Congrats to you!!! Cant wait to see some hunting pics with it.

Well done Kevin! …. What is the regulation ammo and awaiting your first range report?

 

[Puddle]

OMG that's nice! Congrats Kevin!

About 14 months in all end to end.

Was it custom made for you (trigger pull, etc.) so that includes mfg time or was the entire wait shipping and customs-related??

 

[Ravensview]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Am looking forward to your hunt report, I think I fried my computers keypad from the drool on it.

Not especially made because it tried several and came to the conclusion that the standard fits me best. A big part was waiting for permits.

At long last my 450/400 3" double is here! I am over joyed, this is a pivotal moment, something I am sure the other double owners on AH experienced too. It was all rather plain sailing, the customs couldn't have been more helpful.
Just in time for the upcomming hunt on the 24th and hopefully it will take it's first buff.
thanks to all of you for your interest and enthusiasm along the way.

Can I have it?
(never worked at Show & Tell, but worth a shot!)

 

[Jonathan Kashouty]

That's a work of art. Going to get a Heym 450/400 someday!

It was that original photo you posted a few years ago that convinced me Lowdi.

Do you happen to know the finished weight, and is it regulated with DGX/DGS?

Hi Puddle, the brochure says 4.5kg and i just weighed it at 4.594 kg. That's 10.13 pounds.

 

[Ivorygrip]

Congrats! That is a gorgeous double.
