Hi all I am thinking of ordering a Heym in .500 Nitro….maybe a K Gun we will see as I like the 89 B most as I write this but if the 88 is a lot cheaper in Oz it may make sense financially to go that way.

I currently own a .585 HE built on a Montana PH so a .577 double is also interesting but I think the .500 is more practical…..I don’t mind the .470 NE either.

Anyway locally Bertram has .500 1/4” I assume I can just trim this to 3” and good to go.

Also stupid question but your Heym and K guns etc when ordered in .500 NE it will be the 3” version yes ?

Cheers pc3

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
