Heym 55B 7x65R O/U Double Rifle

[AZDAVE]

I am putting up for sale this fine double.

I am the second owner and the original owner bought it and put it in the safe and never shot it. I shot 120 rounds through it and have load data for 175gr bullets.
It comes with the original factory box, dies, 100 rounds of new brass, and 4 boxes of factory ammo. Delivered to your FFL. $7000

Oh man!! An affordable way to own a Heym. What a beautiful rifle. And probably very accurate.

@AZDAVE I hope you don't mind boosting your thread? Heym 55s are very good quality guns. Yours specifically, isn't ruined/damaged. I see many that have had claw mounts installed...but the scope is missing. I've seen them with multiple claw bases installed...also with stuff missing. And lastly, I've seen them with excessive drop at comb so they cannot be used very well with or without optic.

Yours is an umolested example in a wonderful cartridge! I've owned a Heym 26b luxus and while nice, I think the 55 series is a higher quality gun as to engraving, safety design, and other features. (other than maybe wood slightly in favor of 26b)

P.S.- To whomever purchases, I think I have a couple boxes of factory loads from Germany and Austria if you're worried about plenty of brass or loaded ammo to get started.

P.P.S. - What can a 7x65r do? My son killed an eland with a 7x64 (rimless), and an oryx, so I'd say anything in North America and about every plains game in Africa should fear the caliber.

Dave, Can we see the sights

 

[AZDAVE]

@Altitude sickness I will try and get a couple pics up in the next couple days.

Back to the top, will consider partial trades and cash.

 

[AZDAVE]

Bump back to the top after the holidays. If you didn't get the present you wanted you can buy one now.

What a nice rifle, plus Heym quality. That is one rifle that will never be off face.

Double triggers I assume?

[AZDAVE]

Yes it has double triggers.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

And a cross bolt! Nothing else to want.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Wow! What a beautiful rifle. And a Heym for $7000.
It’s not rational that we Americans favor the PIA SxS doubles over O/U. :>)))).

What would this Heym cost if the barrels were oriented 90 degrees left or right.

 

[AZDAVE]

Price drop to $6600

What is the story with that recoil pad ? It appears to be added on ?

 

[Altitude sickness]

Dave has a very long wingspan. It’s an extra pad to increase the LOP
Easily removed

 

[Altitude sickness]

a Heym for the price of a Sabatti

 

[AZDAVE]

@JMV375 @Altitude sickness is correct I have a Long LOP and it is the easiest way for me to get all the normal short LOP rifles out there to a proper lenght.

I really like this rifle! If I had slightly better negotiating skills, I would have talked Dave out of it already!!
