Heym Express 500 Jeffery

[ChetAF]

I have an extremely lightly used Heym Express in 500 Jeffery that I would like to sell. I purchased it from the original owner as a way to try out a 50+ caliber bolt rifle, and he stated that the total round count was approximately 20. Since then, I fired an additional 12 rounds, which thoroughly killed the dirt embankment out behind the barn.

The rifle in in like-new condition, has never been hunted and even has the extra sight and firing pin in the grip cap. It also has a Trijicon 1-4 scope mounted in swing-away type rings and bases.

The rifle comes with a set of RCBS dies, a shell holder, 100+ pieces of Jamison brass, one full box of 570 grain Barnes TTSX and another full box of Barnes 570 grain Banded Solids.

The rifle will be shipped to your FFL in a hard case.

$8,500 shipped.

That .500 deserves to be shot with irons only. Let me know if you want to sell the rings and bases. .

What is the barrel length

 

[ChetAF]

The barrel length is 24"

 

[Flewis]

This should last about 4 minutes.

That's a beauty!

I have shot these Heym Express models in .375H&H and .500Jeffery. The action is the slickest action I`ve ever handled.

 

[Daniel Cary]

Wow, rare catch.
Do you happen to know the apx. year built?
Thank you.

 

[ChetAF]

Good question. I do not, but I can check with Heym USA next week.

 

[Daniel Cary]

It will sell! .. beautiful, imo.

 

[ChetAF]

Thanks everyone! It is definitely a great rifle. If I didn't have a 458 Lott coming later this year, I would keep it.

These came out around 1990. Mine holds 6 Rigby's. The magazine is caliber specific. A spare front sight and tool are in the trap door pistol grip.
I convinced my friend to buy the 125th anniversary model fully engraved by Willig with Holland and Holland style scope mount. Another 416 Rigby. They are great rifles and the 500 Jeffery is one of the hardest to come by.

Thank you. I remember when they offered it in .600, as this one still maintains that appearance from the Catalogues. Personally, like the barrel contour, sights, etc. Cool literature.

It is odd they list offerings and don’t have either Jeff listed and have .500 A-square listed. From (rusty) memory, they offered both Jeffery chamberings from inception.

 

[Flewis]

Handled them at the shot show when they were released. The 600 was 14.1 pounds they told me. Still think about that after all these years. Someone is missing the rifle of a lifetime.

First I've ever seen one listed. Snagged this of Google.

Knob Creek '13: Heym .600 Nitro Express bolt-action rifle

The .600 Nitro Express.What a round!Used primarily for big game hunting, it’s not for the faint of heart, nor someone with a fear of loud noises.This Heym “Express” model is a bolt-action repeater which can hold 3-5 rounds depending on the caliber.

Who ever that was shooting the .600 knows how to handle recoil. He made it look like a .300 WM

Perhaps with a little more barrel torque:>)))
