Incredibly interesting
 
Well, that’s something you don’t see everyday. What caliber?
 
500/450 #1. MINT bore.

With one swoop of the side lever the breech block is unlocked, raised and the hammer is cocked and the case extracted and ejected.

Sopers are very rare especially in the "Sporting" configuration. Less than 700 of all variations were produced. Most were military rifle configuration and very few were sporters.

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?
