Thoughts on this wood “Heym”

Yo
They sell prettier rifles. Just not for $10k.
Youre right! $13k plus wood upgrades. If I can get the above rifle for a deal I’ll buy but won’t be spending new $ on a used rifle.

I totally agree; however, I find myself drawn to the rifle you posted. If I weren’t going you know where soon I might be a player on it.
 
How much is the seller asking? For 10k you can get a new one from Chris and pick your wood. Beautiful wood definitely adds to the enjoyment of hunting with a fine rifle. That having been said, I think the pictures still don’t do it justice. Lighting is better but it’s still somewhat low resolution making the wood look grainy. Bet you it looks much better in person.
 
I feel that! Keep that $ and enjoy!

No sir you can’t..... Spoke to Chris regarding just that. It’s 13 plus wood upgrade.
The rifle the way I want is $13800 but for that I’d buy a double.
Or join @JHT soon!

I do agree though that the lighting is killing the pictures and making it look worse.
 
It is also my understanding that $10k won’t touch a new one from Chris although he does have a surplus I’m told.

True. He is down on 404s but does have a surplus of 416s. He told me that he may offer something like a “discount” soon.

The PH model went for $10K when I bought mine in 2020. They have plain wood, much like this rifle. I paid $12K for mine with upgraded wood. It was beautiful.

Yes yours was gorgeous!! I should have bought it!
If I could buy a rifle like yours new for I would be showing everyone pictures!

Unfortunately I’m only looking for a 404 in the express or 450-400 /450 NE double.
 
I haven’t bought one in a few years so I’m probably a little behind on the price. They usually have a DSC show special that cuts the price a bit or throws in a scope. 12k with upgraded wood sounds about right.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
