Offering for sale my Heym 8.15x46r Schutzen rifle. Quite a fancy old rifle with a 30” barrel. Bore and mechanicals are good. A few notable wood imperfections, please see photos. Very accurate rifle. The 8.15x46r can be made from common 30-30 cases. I do have some custom loads I will offer to the buyer reasonably priced. This gun is from the early 1900s and very solid. Please make sure your ffl accepts shipments from individuals.

I would take $2000 and offer FREE shipping to your ffl.

I have history on this site, gunsinternational, and gunbroker under prairie bird gun.

Extraordinary engraving.
 
These guns shoot very well, mine likes 150gr- 190gr hard cast gas checked. Like he mentioned, 30-30 brass works, it is a little short, but doesn't seem to matter. These are 200M off hand rifles. I wish I could afford this one to add to my collection.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
