Yes you will be able to improve on that, minute of apple, but not much better. You are essentially asking two different rifles to behave as one. Best option is to: 1. Experiment with bullets and loads to get both barrels to shoot close together. 2. Then use a red dot to bring that poi to the...

Recoil reducers are not just about the weight, but also the motion of it. It must move to counteract the rifle motion.

It is a cow.

If you haven't seen Victoria Falls it is a must. Forget tiger fishing at that time of year though.

I wouldn't, just not my cup of tea. Here is a very unusual mount with the long curl drop mentioned. This was shot in the Zambezi valley and the mount hangs In a lodge in the Save.

Clearly, as @JvW says the Gibbs was the inspiration for the 89b.

On my former 375 No1 I fitted a Leica Magnus 1-6.3x24 DG scope, excellent optic, but the eye relief was a tad short. On my new 30-06 No1 I heeded the advice given by several on AH and fitted a Swarovski 1-6 x24i EE. It is entirely correct in every way, so much so that I would say it is the only...

What size was the 89 you handled? I have only handled the Africa frame which comes in 375, 416, 450/400, 450, 470 and I think 500. Since the action is more or less the same size throughout the barrels will for sure affect the balance. I am hoping later this year to handle an 89b light frame in...

I know of one Shikari coming to Zimbabwe so I will get to handle it and hopefully shoot it. Until then all I can do is reserve judgment, but it will be assessed against my Heym 89b which has set the bar very high.

Hi AH. Well done on making the order! I think the top wood is the best.

It is very slim for sure.

Westley Richards just posted this, a 500 and a 470. Their photographic department is as good as their gun making shop.

Do it! If it hasn't got wheels it should have two barrels.

You sir, 'get it'. Both beautiful doubles, and to hunt in the Save is a treat. I have just booked my buff hunt there with my Heym for October, I can't wait.
