Ripp,
The guns for DSC and SCI are just beginning to arrive.
Schedule is a bit hectic at the moment.
Chris will be in and out of Dallas this month, perhaps a demo could be arranged in Dallas between now and DSC, it would be a tight timeline, if it could be accomplished.

More info from Chris:
"Thanks again to everyone for their patience.
To finalize all of the pricing, we must first engrave one in each available grade of engraving. That is being finished now, and we will have pricing on all grades in the next few weeks (in advance of the shows.)
The target price for the first grade is just under 20K.
The 89 costs a little more than the 88, but it also comes with more standard features than the 88.
> long (extended) trigger guard
> disk set strikers
> new stock and fore end by Ralf Martini that are much more British in style."

I absolutely love peep sights! This is the first I've seen them installed on a double rifle..... That would make for some very fast target aquisition with a nice white ivory bead!!!!!!
The inletted swivel looks pretty darn nice as well!!
It would appear to me that Heym is building a world class double. I'm not sure that the continental builders would ever command the astronomical prices of the bespoke English finest such as H&H, but it sure looks like they aren't giving up much of anything in the way of either functionality, build quality or style...... VERY nicely executed, and at around $20k, it's a damn stretch cheaper than an H&H that crowds $200k!!!

From Chris:
"I always hand-select the wood for our show rifles, and I generally upgrade them too (who doesn't like pretty wood, right?)
Here are a couple of examples of wood that we will have on the new 89B.
470 NE on the top
500 NE on the bottom
I'm tempted to hang on to one of these two for myself! "

Hey Art, this one also caught my eye at Dallas.
And they "come up" well.

Not wrong about the timber - a most beautiful selection shown & magnificent work to get them to such a point of perfection, we can only guess hundreds of hours work just on each stock alone!
Certainly beautiful pieces of kit anyone would love to have a crack at owning!
Pipe dream for me, but one can always hope can't they!
