I got to handle GI's Heym 450-400 today.
What a sweet rifle, great wood, and balance.
The 26" barrels are great. The front bead is in focis, and the rear V very fast. If you are over 40
Ck out 26" barrels, pushing that front site out 2 more inches makes a big difference with my eyes.

Yep,

They are sweet for sure. I think I am going to end up with one in a few years.

Kind of a lot of money for me right now.

Even if you are young, 26 inch barrels are the way to go. Congratulations!

I shoot the new Heym double made for the .450/400 3" 2 weeks ago and I was enthusiastic. This will be my next rifle/round combination. (If I have enough money Wink)

I looked at them at SCI this year. Nice gun but they build it on the large frame and I think it's way too heavy for a 450-400. If I'm going to lug around a gun that weighs as much as a 500 It might as well be a 500. I asked if they would build it on the 375 size frame, which is more than big enough, and they looked at me like I was crazy. An 8.5-9lb 450-400 would be perfect.
