It’s not much; but, it’s mine... Heym 89B 450/400 arrived today

Well, it’s finally here...

A big shout out to Chris Sells at Heym USA for making it happen. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster during the Covid era.

I visited Chris back in August. After firing the 88 and 89B we decided on this lite model 89B in 450/400 NE.

Dressed it up a little from the factory settings. I’m a southpaw so it’s lefty.

My options...

Left handed stock.
Left handed trigger group and firing order.
Upgraded lumber.
Silver nitrate triggers, trigger guard and butt cap.
English style oil finish on the stock.
Bullino engraved Cape Buffalo underneath.

Hope to get it to the range to check the regulation this weekend. With a bit of luck I’ll have it pointing at Buffs later this month.

What do you mean it’s not much! That is a fantastic rifle, congratulations!!!

 

[Opposite Pole]

Very nice rifle if it wasn’t for the cheekpiece being on the wrong side ;-) Enjoy!

 

[Uintaelkhunter]

Great looking rifle with some nice upgrades.

 

[Commish]

Love that piece of wood! I too have a Buffalo engraved on the bottom of my 450-400. Heym does such a great job with their animal engraving. Their Buffalo particularly always look fantastic. Can’t wait to read your hunting report! Hope you shoot one just like on the bottom of yours!

[TOBY458]

That is beautiful! The 450/400 should be easy to shoot as well.

 

[Rocked and Loaded]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Must have been part of the shipment of 9 that mine is part of that just landed at DFW last Friday.

As another lefty I approve.

That is one classy looking rifle. I’ll bet it shoots great.

Wow! Congrats on the new addition, it's a beauty!

 

[Randy F]

Whoa! That is SWEET!
Georgous rifle.

“It’s not much” Lol. What the heck? Are you COVID positive or what?

 

[rinehart0050]

We leftys are generally limited to buying new guns- but this worked out in your favor clearly. Great looking rifle and exceptional character on the wood. Congrats!
