| Sweet rifle. How does it fit you? RC
Shoot the largest caliber you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice.

| Fits like a glove. Chris had given me the measurements and I went to Gordy's in Houston to have my VC measured. The Heym was IIRC 1/4" longer in LOP and 1/16 off in cast (forgot which way). Bottom line is it was close enough for me to sell my VC knowing I would red dot it anyway. But.......... I lost 75# since I was measured for the VC. When I put the Heym up to my cheek and opened my eyes BAM- bead was centered. The icing on the cake is that the guy who bought my VC only wanted to use factory ammo. Hornady is 20 vs 10 in a box with Norma so I made out like a bandit.

| Nice!
Looks like you won the wood lottery.
What red dot sight are you going with? |

I have both the Trijicon and the Leica. The Trijicon base did not fit on my VC, it was cut for the Rechnagel/Dr.Optic mount. So I bought the adapter plate to fit the Trijicon onto the mount. And then I bought the Leica red dot at '20 DSC which fits the Rechnagel mount. Of course Heym has their own dovetail........Chris only has the TRijicon base so I have it coming- I assume the adapter plate goes both ways.

| FMC,
I will be interested in which RMR you prefer. I have the Trijicon and it seems to be well made and Leica has a great reputation for optic quality. The only thing I don’t like about the Trijicon is you have to remove the sight to change the battery. |

| Nice double.I especially like the wood. |

| I have two pre-sigted in Trijicon red dots for my Heym 89B in 450NE. If I remember correctly the battery powered on is a 3 minute dot and the non-battery one is a post. I wanted one that does not require a battery as the Trijicon red dot does have to be removed from the mount to change the battery and I did not want the potential issues that could cause in the field. That being said, I have a battery powered Trijicon on m 470NE Heym 88B and it has been there for YEARS without needing to change the battery. |

| I have RMRs for two of my double rifles that require a battery. I put in a fresh one just before I leave for a hunt. I've never needed a battery in the field when hunting, even though I carry a spare. And yes, nice double! |

Chris, He posted in the hunting reports section and it looked like a grand time.
I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.
