Re: HEYM "PH" 450/400 3"... who wants one?

In reply to:
New_Guy,
Can you tell me what the Heym will weigh in .450/.400?
You may have already posted that information, and if so, I apologize for asking again.
Are these rifles available now, or is this special order? If it's special order, is the stock a custom fit? If the stock is standard, can you tell me the dimensions?
Looks like a nice working gun.
Thanks,
Curl
Curl - I don't think I answered the weight question, but I will.
The expected weight for the 450/400 is around 9.5 lbs.
These rifles are not available currently from HEYM and this chambering is an exclusive offering that I’m having built for myself.
They will have to be special ordered and the stock is made to fit.
The only thing we’re still trying to decide on for the first gun is the exact barrel length. The ideal length would be 26” to replicate the profiles of the old English guns, but by today’s manufacturing standards some argue that maybe 26” barrels (in this contour) would be a bit too thin at the muzzle. So they may have to be a bit shorter.
In the end, they’ll probably be 25” + a fraction... but they definitely will not be shorter than 25".
