Ok, thest last two posts set my mind at ease. Thank you.

As a separate point, when one is measured up and eventually receives their rifle has it always been spot on? I discovered that I am 'Mr Standard' for Heym in that I was fortunate enough to try six or seven new 89b's and they were pretty much dead on except for one which had a much longer stock...

So TSX in 500J and 470 Nitro is good for buffalo?

Seeing those two inspires thoughts of their future - "The early morning whif of mopane smoke, strong coffe out of an enamel mug and the big 577 across the lap; a moment of mutual comfort and bodnding ahead of the making of a cherished memory in Africa's deepest heartland....."

I love tents and sand.

Well done bringing your daughter to Africa.

Thanks guys.

My new to me Heym 89b only had 20 or so rounds through it and the stock was cut back to my lop so we can call it 'new' I suppose. I've waxed lyrical about the 89b so won't launch yet again, but suffice it to say that I think that Heym achieved the pinnacle of perfection in capturing the form...

470

I am on my second Heym 89b double. Couldn't with for a better double, they tick all of the boxes.

Will, you write well, consider starting a blog and see where it goes.

Try Westley Richards for good customer service, Trigger always finds the time to receive us and Steven is aleays on hand to fit clothes. He gave my friend a special edition cap, a bit of a collector's item.

One of our members whilst fulfilling the Scottish portion of the line-up achieved a Scottish Macnab whilst he was about it, so he was awarded his Carruthers Tie with crossed swords, ala in the Scottish dance.

The saying 'pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered' is also economics. I predict that if the prices go too high demand won't just shrink, it will evaporate to a point where the air up there will be too thin to support even one luxury maker. Remember H&H, VC and Purdey.
