Louis , beautiful rifle. I very much like the Germanic style of single shot and in particular with carved oak leaves at the edge of the checkering and in front of the recoil pad, just like yours.
I have always wanted one in 8x75RS. The Kipplauf rifles are really the height of elegance in a single shot IMO. Well done.

Pity about the reluctance of HEYM to do any work on their own product, pretty piss poor really. That sort of response puts me of buying anything from a company like that. Poor customer service. You expect that from a large mainstream ca manufacturer but not from an expensive gunmaker that considers itself to be semi-custom anyway.

I bet you wouldn't get that sort of response from Holland & Holland or Westley Richards.

Matt.
