Offering for sale my Heym 8.15x46r Schutzen rifle. Quite a fancy old rifle with a 30” barrel. Bore and mechanicals are good. A few notable wood imperfections, please see photos. Very accurate rifle. The 8.15x46r can be made from common 30-30 cases. I do have some custom loads I will offer to the buyer reasonably priced. This gun is from the early 1900s and very solid. Please make sure your ffl accepts shipments from individuals.

I would take $2000 and offer FREE shipping to your ffl.

I have history on this site, gunsinternational, and gunbroker under prairie bird gun.

Extraordinary engraving.
 
These guns shoot very well, mine likes 150gr- 190gr hard cast gas checked. Like he mentioned, 30-30 brass works, it is a little short, but doesn't seem to matter. These are 200M off hand rifles. I wish I could afford this one to add to my collection.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
