Bought it for an elephant hunt several years ago. Ended up being more comfortable with my .375RUM with scope.
 
Is this the one that a reflex sight can easily be mounted and removed?

This is pretty much the ultimate client gat for Ele and Dagga Boys. I’d be interested in shooting a bolt 404 and this back to back. Certainly lower recoil in the heavier double.
 
Not very knowledgable about the reflex feature, but I think the attached pic show a lever for quick removal. Additional pics attached as well. Note that my iphone pics show the blueing a bit brighter than real life.

It does not appear to have the removable blocks for scope ring attachment.
 
I was going to say none, but decided to take a "buyers" hard look before I replied. There is a blemish on the receiver I had not noticed before or I would have mentioned it. I have attached a pic.
I had the gun on consignment with one of the dealers at Dallas Safari Club Convention a couple of years ago. I am embarrassed to say that I did not notice it earlier. If you are still interested let me know. If not, I may take it off the market until I speak with HEYM and see if it can be buffed out.

A dream double of mine! Please sell it quickly before I have to cancel my Africa trip this year!:ROFLMAO::LOL::cry:
 
I am not familiar at all with double rifle pricing so the question that I have is: what would the price of a similarly equipped rifle be- New?

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
