Heym 89B For Sale

[Green Chile]

These comments on too heavy are interesting. If 12 is too heavy, what are people wanting...10 lbs?

I was looking at the same thing. It looks like big tarpon fish scales. Cool gun.

Beautiful wood on that Double.
The optimal weight according to Heym for the 470/500 doubles is 11.5 pounds. They feel that’s the best to help manage recoil and still remain balanced.
The 577 I am having made normally is around 12.5 lbs but I’ve asked it to be closer to 13.5 lbs as I have no problem carrying the extra pound and have shot a 577 at almost 14 pounds and found it comfortable to shoot.

idk .. there's a 10lb .500 here (never shot)?
The 10lb Jeffery is not too bad, but this is all in practice, not field experience.

11lbs .. I agree, I've never seen anything like this, again. VC Eloge.

Can I sidetrack this, to anyone who knows ..
Is this called embossed or deep relief engraving? .. Thank you.

I hane never seen a stock like that either, I think that is the best timber I have ever seen. What is the story?

 

[Green Chile]

That’s a lot of figure for a stopping caliber. I’m sure they laid it out well. Beautiful and unique.
