New Guy--

Excellent post on a great Double, the 450/400 aka 400 Jeffery.
I really hope that Heym can proceed and put several rifles out the door. If the average Doubles customer handles both a great handling 9.5 pound Jeffery(~4000 ftpnd energy) there may no going on to a 10.5 pound 470(~5000ftpnd energy) rifle. I would think the Jeffery could do it all including Ele for most african hunters. Not a 470 but close.

The more I handle my "barrel heavy" 10.5 pound 470 Merkel the more I am tempted to a 9.5 better "between the hands" balanced, better handling double!!

Sounds great!

Woe is me!!
The ability to obtain this caliber in a newly manufactured rifle done right like the Heym means a bad case of gun lust to be sure.

Is your 400 Jeffery gun manufacture a done deal looking for additional orders or is this a feeler thread looking for interest?
I would also assume that since this gun is a handloading proposition that Heym would supply the handloading component mixture to regulate the gun with the 400 gr bullets. Correct?
