First Blood...
Back in December I had a chance to bloody the Heym in Alabama. I killed two whitetails (doe). Here are a couple of pics of the first critter to fall to the 400.

Well done. It adds something more whitetail hunting. Wish you continued success with the new double.

You certainly have a nice rifle Tim, thanks for letting me fire it at 4K! That red dot setup is really neat!

Thanks Kelly, it was great shooting with you again. I think the red-dot is going to be perfect for a some applications. As we discussed, I have a call in to the pilot friend of mine - he must be out of town, but I still hope to have him contact you.
