The other glaring omission is a sidelock version. The new web site shows no side locks at all...... I wonder if Heym has exited the sidelock market, or if this is simply a marketing nuance of how the web site was built? Maybe an 89B sidelock is not ready for release yet and they have removed the 88B side lock from view on the web site so as not to distract attention away from this new rifle? I honestly can't imagine Heym walking away from the side lock market to focus just on box locks? I would imagine that box locks steadily outsell side locks, so it makes sense to focus efforts in that direction, but when playing in the very high end rifle market, one would expect to see side locks.
Not from Heym, so just my opinion. Firstly a sidelock would be a completely different action. Heym could probably make a side-plate version of the this action on a custom order, is my guess anyway.
