Was at Tim's yesterday to watch the action. Posted about these rifles in another thread. The wood stocked was a bit heavier than the B&C. Both with mercury tubes in the buttstock. 700gn at 2120fps in a 22.8" barrel.

25yd target, iron sights. The integral barrel program calculates the express sight filing depth for the given front sight, zero range and load. The sights
were setup for 75yd zero which also gives a 25yd zero for the "up close and personal".

I should note Tim's poor shooting form. He just could not stay away from metal machining and went and broke his left forearm, but he continues...

Lastly, he booked up his October special and is looking to about January to open it up again.
thanks

Did Tim machine that plate they installed in him? Wouldn't put it past him [emoji1787]

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?
