I've decided to sell my Heym model 89b double in 500 NE. It's a beautiful gun that shoots great, but I've decided I really want an 8 bore rifle and the only way I can afford that is if I sell this. My asking price is $28,000.00 but I would entertain the idea of a trade for an 8 bore rifle :). The gun is equipped to accept a QD mount for a Trijicon RMR and the mount will be included with the gun. I also have some hand loading supplies I will include with the purchase (dies, brass, bullets).

Wow, what a beautiful rifle...if only it was left handed I would have already bought it! The wood is fantastic. What grade of wood is it per Heym?

I don't remember exactly.

This rifle is nearing the max grade for the model 89b. I picked my own stock blank from a line-up. I think I could have stepped up one grade on the wood and I could have done the picture style engraving.

It is spectacular that is for sure. Thanks for the reply!

All doubles should look like this.
 
Thats a dandy modern double rifle ....GLWS.
 
If it was lefty I would've jumped on that in a heartbeat. Just out of curiosity what length are those barrels?

Wow, just beautiful!
 
I have a new 89B with a few less options importing from Canada at this time. Can't wait to get it. However, I would have had to buy this one if it was on the market about 6 weeks ago! Great rifle!!! You'll sell it quickly.
 
Good evening @matt85

Is it a custom stock dimensions or factory OEM dimensions? If the former what are the stock dimensions, including LOP?

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
