No, didn't have a Heym, but did have a few 577 VC rifles. The Heym used to be available in 577 only in the "Jumbo" sidelock action, which was $50K+. Now I understand Chris can get them made on the new Heym large boxlock action. That should bring the price down considerably.

Talk to Aaron Neilson. He has my Verney-Carron 577NE and may be using it in Mozambique in a couple of months.

Photos of it are here in the Classifieds
CCMDoc's V-C 577NE

If he doesn't buy it you might be interested.

If you'd settle for a single barrel I have an old Jeffery for sale in .600. Dates to 1914 or thereabouts. Have some brass, dies, and cast bullets. It's on my website.

If he does want a single shooter instead, I also have a 600 for sale.

OR he could get Cals and mine and with a roll of duct tape make his own unique DR.
It'd be the only one in the world like it!

Aw hell guys. Quit pickin' on biebs. You know he'd just sell it. Now he's gone to using the excuse that it is for someone else. The depths some guys sink to....

Yup, my Bud in Mozambique has the big-bore fever, for sure. He's not even sure he could "settle" on a 577...the 600 is what he wants.

As for me, if a 500 NE can't do the job, I'd need to choose smaller game :-)
