Hi all I am thinking of ordering a Heym in .500 Nitro….maybe a K Gun we will see as I like the 89 B most as I write this but if the 88 is a lot cheaper in Oz it may make sense financially to go that way.

I currently own a .585 HE built on a Montana PH so a .577 double is also interesting but I think the .500 is more practical…..I don’t mind the .470 NE either.

Anyway locally Bertram has .500 1/4” I assume I can just trim this to 3” and good to go.

Also stupid question but your Heym and K guns etc when ordered in .500 NE it will be the 3” version yes ?

Cheers pc3

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!
