Welcome to AH! The members here are a treasure trove of knowledge with regards to hunting, firearms, ammunition and everything else. I’ve learned so much from them.
 
Welcome to AH! What did you end up choosing for your double?? Always great to have new members. What part of Canada are you from?
Im from B.C westcoast of Canada, for the double at first I wanted a 500NE but after talking to Ralf (Rep for Heym) I decided to settle for a Heym 89B 450/400 hope it’s a good choice. I haven’t received it yet when I do I’ll post some pictures for sure.
 
Welcome aboard SHIKARI786. What double rifle did you buy, i.e. brand and caliber? What kind and caliber rifles do you already own? What are you thinking about hunting in Africa?
I would like to hunt Buffalo for sure but not too familiar with all the species will have to do some research get some advice. I own 3 rifles 1.30/06 Mauser Rifle and 2. 9.3x62’s.
 
Hi Everyone, don’t know if it’s right place to post these pics and I’m not too familiar with this forum but I promised I would post pics of the Double Rifle I ordered from Ralf Martini once I received it. Here’s the pics:

It's a beauty, I'd be afraid to take it out hunting but I'm sure that's why you bought it.:)
 
Good to see more doubles ending up in BC! And a 89b at that. Sure it was pricey but what a gun! Not a ton of doubles here in BC but Ralf is the man! If I didn’t buy my 450no2 last year, I know I would of bought a used double from Ralf.

nice Roosevelt elk too!
 
welcome welcome welcome
 
Welcome to AH!
 
I hope you get to hunt in BC with your new Heym double before you take it to Africa. I hunted elk with my .450-400 and it was a great confidence booster when hunting Cape buffalo a year later!
 
WOW! One fine looking double! Cant wait to see how it shoots!
 
Welcome to AH! Glad you found us and joined our community. Enjoy the site and have fun planning!

It will be Rolf, is a great source of info on rifles, he is the only one in Canada I let work on mine.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
