Slowly going broke.

Decided to go the full monte for my Africa hunting experience and buy a double 470 from Heym. Wallet is now gasping for breath but looking forward to having a the double rifle experience on my buffalo hunt.

Congratulations!
Hope it is all you dreamed of it being.

Might be going broke in one big jump - but worth it. Enjoy the trip and your rifle.

There is no better way to slowly go broke IMO than buying a HEYM double rifle for an upcoming safari! Congrats on both (the double & safari) and sorry about the dwindling finances.

Ah shit you can always make more money but you can never buy more time to live your life on your terms...

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

It boils down to reckless priorities and addictions
That's how I look at my hunting endeavors

Yes!!!
- Bought a Merkel 470 NE
- Sold said rifle to buy FL toys (SCUBA & kayaks) while stationed there
- Bought 458 WM and shot Buff
- Bought another Merkel 470 NE so I can hunt Buff again in concert with my DR dreams

We'll hold you to your promise of many pics.

I think you are looking at it wrong, you just traded a bunch of worthless paper for a beautiful rifle and the experience of a lifetime. I would say it is the parties on the other side of the transaction that should be concerned about "going broke".

I never regretted the money I spent on quality.

I always regretted the money wasted on sub-par equipment or experiences.

You have made a fine choice. Congratulations.
