I am not sure I would want to shoot it, but would love to see it!!

I would imagine the recoil would get your attention.

Are you building it for a.specific hunt , or just for fun?
 
What weight projectile you shooting thru that and what velocity do you expect? Intense looking rig.
 
I have to ask - has anybody hunted with this cartridge?
How is recoil?

I had to look on internet, to get idea, and if online sources are correct it goes up to from 14 to 19.000 foot pounds. This is comparable to 50 BMG.

375 HH is up to 4.400 foot pounds for comparison. Just a baby compared to this.
 
Neat rifle!

I shot a 600 NE some years ago and the recoil certainly woke you up. I think Id pass on a gun this light though...

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
