I just started planning a buffalo hunt for 2027. It’s for my son and I. We just came back from planes game in Botswana and had a blast, both archery and rifle. The pH suggested a Heym 450-400 and those seem to be few and far between for sale. I just found a 470 nitro express 89B and it went pending in just a few minutes on gun Broker or gun international. Do you have any other suggestions on where to look? Thank you for any advice. I was JB Florida on the original Accurate Reloading Forum! | ||

Dont rule out 450 3 1/4 Nitro Express. Great stopper and easy to find bullets for. | |||

Ask Chris Sells 'New Guy'(?) here on AR, the American Heym agent. As I understand it the older 88B only comes in .450/.400 3" now. I got one from stock on hand at the Heym factory 17 years ago. | |||

Yup!! great caliber. Our 1902 Army Navy shoots amazingly good. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

Used Doubles seem to be like hen's teeth on the market right now. I looked for nearly a full year to find my new to me Searcy. I even went to the Nashville SCI show this year hoping to find a good used DR. No Luck other than worn out rifles or odd calibers. If Sam didn't get you squared away with his PM, maybe PM Biebs. He had found a couple of rifles while I was looking but before I was ready to commit. Good Luck. It will be worth the effort. | |||

I will have an 89B 450 3-1/4" availble shortly. A good friend passed away last momth and I am selling it for his wife. He ordered it new and never shot it. PM me if you are interested. Mac | |||

New to these forums, been around along while on the 24hourcampfire and Rokslide. Anyway, brand new to doubles and sorting my way through what I am really looking for and want. I have a minty 450/400 that I plan to shoot alongside a 470, both Heym 88b's from 2008 or 2009, cant recall which as I type this. I really think I will want a 450NE and 500NE, just need to experiment more over the next 6-8 weeks. Mentioning it as I may likely pass along the 450/400. Cheers, Will | |||
