My new Heym Safari Classic .416 bolt rifle

I received my Heym .416 Rigby Safari Classic rifle today from HeymUSA (Chris Sells), & is it ever sweet. Every bit as classic as any English bolt rifle. Can't wait to shoot it; will report back with range results when I get some Talley rings to mount the scope. But I'll repeat, it's a real beauty.

I saw and handled them last year at the Dallas show last year...very nice. I guess Frank went one step further than my looking and handling, huh ? :-)

Great news Frank! That means you can now send me back the Cogswell & Howell double?

Steve: As bad as I shot in WY, I need something new. Also, Tom got home yesterday, and we're already planning next year's hunt in Medicine Bow. He told me today he wish you'd come back next year ..... I think he likes you.
Ernest: No way !!!

You didn´t shoot it over open sights???

That´s the first thing ( after cleaning ) I do with every rifle that has and needs open sights ...

Just wondering ...

It is a very beautiful rifle, as I saw it before it was shipped to Frank.

Also, I used a Heym Express rifle in 404 Jeffery, on my recient trip to Mozambique.
Same gun as Franks, except for calibre.

I shot a few animals with it and I was most happy in how it handled, shot and performed.
