Hi all I am thinking of ordering a Heym in .500 Nitro….maybe a K Gun we will see as I like the 89 B most as I write this but if the 88 is a lot cheaper in Oz it may make sense financially to go that way.

I currently own a .585 HE built on a Montana PH so a .577 double is also interesting but I think the .500 is more practical…..I don’t mind the .470 NE either.

Anyway locally Bertram has .500 1/4” I assume I can just trim this to 3” and good to go.

Also stupid question but your Heym and K guns etc when ordered in .500 NE it will be the 3” version yes ?

Cheers pc3

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
