An NIB double rifle chambered in 450/400 3 inch with proper 26" barrels!

Life is good!

Awesome Chris! I know you have worked very hard to bring this project to the manufacturing stage! Well done, sir!

Negative. That particular one was ordered by an outdoor writer.

I get mine after all the clients get theirs.

9.5 lbs is purdy good for having 26 in. barrels. Now only if those heymees were a few grand cheaper...

Thanks.

That's a very sweet looking piece, Chris....too bad someone already sold me a 404 bolt and I "found" that 450 NE.

Anyone not "stuck" on vintage really aught to look at these for

an all around rifle. 210 grn pistol bullets, 265 grainers from

Cast Bullet Performance, 300 grainers from Hornady and 400

grainers from a handful of firms. Only the .458 caliber shooters

have more choices, but they pay the price of a heavier rifle and
or more recoil.

OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}

Chris,

what would the pricing structure be on one in .500 NE 3"?

I SS,

The Heym in 500 NE will likely be sub 10.5 pounds.

There are 470's out there at 9 lbs and so many ounces!

RECOIL with full power loads will not be apprec-

iated by little girls, [like ME]. It WILL be nice carry-

ing, and I guess you can work up/use light loads
for practice and smaller than Cape Buff game...

The weight to me, begs to be coupled with the .41 caliber.
