My Heym 88B in 9.3x74R is in my hands finally...

Wonderful Tanks, what a gift of a thing. What grade wood is that, it looks great? What scope are you putting onto it, I think you said somewhere along the line?
 
BTW, here is the 100 meter target from the factory. It will do the job.

Very nice double in a very versatile caliber. It will pare with your 500 quite well. mine pairs up with my 500/416.

I have no idea about the grade of wood, I just picked one from what Chris Sells had in stock, upcharge was $600 . Here is a link of what is available now.

The scope is a Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10x42 BT. The stock blank was sent to Germany along with the scope.

Wow, very nice rifle
 
Like our English friends might say "Jolly Good Show." Hope she shoots as good as she looks.
 
Definite sinister tone to this thread ... Nice rifle. Have fun.

Some very nice blanks in there. I have decided not to upgrade, not just the cost, but this will be a base double that I will polish anyway. Sort of like a lucky dip in that you dont see anything until it is finished.
 
That’s some stunning timber right there! Congrats on your double!
Now when is your next hunting report using them ;)

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
