I've been trying to find some bases for a Heym model SR10. So far, my research leads me to believe that this rifle was a limited production model that preceded the Heym SR 20. My question: Is the gussied up Heym SR10 the same rifle as the Heym manufactured Mauser 3000? Any and all info would be appreciated. Stoney

I sent New England firearms an E-mail a couple of days back, but have not received a response. I looked at the EAW site. Thet list bases for the SR20, nothing for the SR10. I've sent them a message to ask if the bases are interchangeable. They are probably over budget for me in any case. If all fails, I'll travel to a large gun shop and try various bases for Mausers. Another option would be Conetrol, they are expensive, but not nearly as bad as the EAWs.

to make the speculations more accurate I suggest that you contact the Heym factory and asks them about the gun and if there are any bases avilable. Heym are very good to deal with and wil help you in any way they can.
here is their site: http://www.heym-waffenfabrik.de/

Good luck

I still don't know for sure that the bases for a Mauser 3000 will fit the Heym Sr10, since I can't find a listing for the 3000. This Heym is an interesting rifle. The rifle was manufactured in very limited quantities for Heym by H&K. The full title is Heym SR10 Bushnell "Krupp Special". The receiver and floor plate are heavily engraved and I would class the wood as AA, with lots of figure in the buttstock. I sent an E-mail to both Heym and H&K. Heym replied that bases for the later model (Heym produced) SR20 are same as the SR10. I then started a search for Heym SR20 mounts. Finally found a source at Lynx.co. in New Zealand. Their online catalogue cross referenced the SR20 bases as being identical to the following Mausers: Carl Gustaf 1600, FN, Santa Barbara, Parker Hale, Voere, early Vanguard and Zastava. Isn't the web a great source?

No it wasn't. Heckler and Koch never ever made a bolt action rifle. Something has been confused here.
