Claw mounts are special order.... they make all kind of mounts.

Just call them....

HWL
 
I have the cataligue of heym.

In the page 43 there are a diferent mount of heym, but it is in deuchland....
I would like mounts type AKA... (claw monts)


My doble is 88B safari and i think that this EAW is for only sr21 and sr30

Fitting claw mounts is about a $2000 job. No discount at all if you already have claw bases, believe it or not. The mount blank from EAW or ERA at $300 is the cheapest part of the process.

can you supply picture of the rib of your heym 88b from above and the side? You may have other options from the factory for far less money. Heymusa even stocks some proprietary pre-fit mounts but it all depends on how your heym was configured and when it was made.
 
P.S.- if you’re trying to mount a reflex sight, I may have a spare one, unused, for a heym double.
 
I have a scope for 375h&h barrel, no mounts, one Leica er5 1.5-8x32, i put a scope only in this barrel.
The 470NE barrel is perfect.

The scope.....

The big scope is in one 7mmRM

I would like put in the heym the "small"scope

In the picture it has 30mm rings, but it was because in this moment it's in another rifle.

A scope is heavy, especially your Leica. Apart from the possibility of the recoil dislodging the )rib, it will also affect the regulation, then what is the point? Just be happy with your open sights or fit a small reflex sight like a Kahles or Trijicon.
 
Leica asph is a reflex sigh???

Reflex sight is x1 o are there with aument???

I have a posibility to buy one asph a good price.....
 
I don't like reflex sight, my eyes are very poor. I preffer a scope, i like very much my "small" leica 1.5-8x32.

I saw this mounts but it was installed in a sr30....

Did is it one model of EAW page 43???

You’re new to doubles so you’re making some missteps here.

First, you do not buy the scope and then the mounts. You buy the mounts and then the scope on a double rifle.

Trust me, this is very important advice. To avoid yourself untold troubles, you must have EAW Pivot bases installed on your rifle. This mounting system is the only arrangement that allows you to change scopes, although changing them is still expensive.

Regarding your scope. The scope is too big and it may or may not fit. You’ll prefer a straight tube scope whether rail mount style or standard 30mm rings.

To explain to you why the things I said above are true and accurate statements would require me to write you a ten page document, but I assure you they are the best path forward at the lowest cost and most reliability while retaining the ability to change or add scopes in the future.

Any scope with a bell is going to provide you a bad sight picture and increased recoil over a straight tube scope. The comb was not designed to handle a higher sight picture than the iron sights.

Can your scope be made to work? Yes. But you will dearly regret it. The installation will result in mounts located in the wrong spots for use with straight tube scopes in the future. The recoil will be severe. When you’re disappointed with the optic or it breaks, you will be forced to throw away the barrels or have a new quarter rib made and the gun re-regulated to start over the correct way.

P.S. - The scope mounts above are the wrong type. As you said, those are for a Heym SR30. You underestimate the cost and complexity of putting scopes and mounts on a double rifle. You cannot buy parts here and there, you need a specialist to do it all for you. The cost for mounts and scope that are correct will be relatively similar to the price of the rifle.

I have 2 scopes because I have 2 mauser M12.
One at 7mmRM where I have the large scope mounted.
And another M12 in 338wm where the small scope is mounted.
I wanted to remove the er5 from the 338wm and mount it on the express, but it's not like I bought the scope before the mounts.

This is putting good money after bad. To install the Er5 onto your double rifle will require German Claw mounts fit by hand and a claw-based ring to go on the exit objective of the scope. The cost will be about 3000 euros for the parts and labor to do this.

If you break that scope, no other scope in the world will likely fit that gun or its mount locations . Once you realize you do not like this, you can throw the leica scope away that had a ring permenantly braised to its bell and throw the barrels away. Heym will make you a new set of barrels for 6000 euros and then you can start over with a new set of 3000 euro scope mounts.

Correct process:

Buy either a railed or rail-less swarovski Z6i 1-6x24, or z8i 1-8x24, or the Schmidt & Bender alternatives. Have your expert double rifle scope installation mechanic order you the correct EAW pivot mounts for that scope with the correct height posts to install on the tapered rib (the rib is angled so the front mount will be longer). He will then mill two dove tails into the quarter rib and permenantly install the front and rear base plates for the pivot mounts.

Scope cost 2000 euros.
Installation cost 2000 euros. (Including pivot mounts and rings)

This is the least expensive and also the very best option for your rifle.
 
Scope on the .375 barrel WILL change the regulation of the firearm. That is why when I was getting a 9.3x74R built I sent my scope to Heym to make sure it was regulated with the scope. something to consider.
 
The 2 Mauser M12 have the same brand and model of mounts and rings, identical. Rusan.
The cheapest thing would be to buy an express sight leica asph for the heym, but honestly, my eyes would not be able to see a wild boar for one of those express sight in 100 meters
That's why I had thought to put the er5 in the heym and buy a Leica fortis 6 3-18x44 for the other M12, and continue to be interchangeable depending on whether I go to the roe deer or mountain stalking with the 7mmRM or for a wild boar at night or a moose or bear with the 338wm

But as you said, I am new to the subject of express and it could be that the best thing I could do is buy a scope with a straight tube, for example leica 1-4x24

Thank you all for your sincere help.
