What can you guys tell me about their express rifles and the action they use?

I love mine. It is chambered in 450 Rigby and has never failed to feed.

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!

LOL! Rob, you da man!

Thanks for the laugh ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Priceless, yet classic presentation of, Robert Garnick.

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.

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

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.
