What can you guys tell me about their express rifles and the action they use? I didn't go up there to die, I went up there to live. | ||

I love mine. It is chambered in 450 Rigby and has never failed to feed. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." Terry Pratchett. | |||

I have a .600NE. Its never failed to inflict major pain on anyone who has fired it. It barely feeds even solids and for a $10K plus gun has a pretty plain stock. It is very accurate though! It has its uses nevertheless! One day at the range a local "expert" saw me firing it and came by to provide advice and guidance. He loudly informed me that a REAL Rifleman like himself only needed a .338 win for the biggest and baddest of game animals. a real One shot one kill kinda guy! I sneakily played dumb and coerced him into shooting the Heym. One HUGE hematoma later accompanied by three loud" Holy shits" as well as a total target miss, he cried" Why do you feel you need a .600? I replied, cause they don't make a .800 and proceeded to shoot three shots into the bull offhand at 50 yrds. The look on his face was priceless!

I own a 404 and 500 Jeffrey from Heym.....both are well made and very accurate. They feed and fire flawlessly. They're not embellished, but in the bush I don't care for that. The 404 has seen duty in Zambia and the 500 is still waiting his chance. Pricey....but great rifles. Gary DRSS NRA Lifer SCI DSC | |||

Perhaps the group here can talk ZTREH into a fling with the mighty .600NE Heym. Now that would indeed be priceless. Given his depth of experience and knowledge it should be a hoot! I'd even construct a VERY SPECIAL (but safe)load for him that would provide years of continuing fond memories and never-ending high dose Ibuprofen abuse. -Rob Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers to do incredibly stupid things- AH (1941)- Harry Reid (aka Smeagle) 2012 Nothing Up my sleeves but never without a plan and never ever without a surprise! | |||

And let Will have it stocked to his liking...that will insure a 600 NE of less than 6 lbs. :-) | |||

A Heym express rifle in .416Rigby, was the first big bore I shoot as young boy. I was 13, 14 years old.  The light express was a long time at my wish list. But the prices exploding in the last years. Martin | |||
