I was so happy with the work done on my Heym that I sent the stock for my VC 450 NE to the same gentleman for the leather wrap. While at it I sent the barrels to JJ to put his low mount for a Trijicon as well. Here is the stock.

The one he put on my Marcel Thys 470 is milled in so it works like a QD weaver type mount without the cross bar. Mine rests up against the rear sight so it is solid against recoil. Thumb nut with a slot on one side. You finger tighten and then use the rim of a cartridge to tighten about a 1/4 turn more. Super slick setup On a rifle like a Chapuis with removable blocks for scope mounting, he replaces a screw with one that has a thicker head that protrudes enough to be a recoil block. @Just Gina is having this done to her new 450/400.
I'm sure you must have a raised rib to have it done this way.
Exactly as @ActionBob stated. It duplicates the Heym factory rib milling except behind the rear sight (Heym's is a lot closer to the action).

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.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
