In short, with a year's out build time out of the equation, I regret the opportunity to purchase an 89 that was readily available, to a point. There were some spec's that didn't appeal?!? ..

I was curious 89 owner's POV's, pics "if you care to share", etc. &..
their 577. I've seen receiver sizes up to 500 N.E. in the 89, however how much difference is in the receiver, is it strengthened/Bolstered when built for the 577?
Many Thanks! They are Beautiful!
 
The frame sizes have not changed between the 88B and 89B as I have been told. Below is a picture. Note that you can have a .577 in either a large frame or a jumbo frame with corresponding weight and cost increase.

Unhappy with your Krieghoff?
I haven't even looked at the enclosed targets, etc, let alone Shoot it!

I'm formally in quarantine, .. if the weather breaks, ill take it out this week & report. I'll say though, for a stock build it's an excellent fit! .. perhaps actually using it may suggest otherwise?

The 89's, in appearance are stunning!
... I have yet to see an "Essencia" rifle?
 
https://www.ziegenhahn.de/ Thank You Chris.

With respect to the particular 28 I had the opportunity to handle, it was a breed apart .. respectfully so considering the above. I'm sure their rifles out of the equation, for me at least.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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?
