New_guy,

That Heym is certainly a clean and sharp looking rifle. Maybe I'll try one some day!

It is amazing that 95% of US hunters have probably never shot or handled a double rifle.

But once attained--
Then the Double rifle bug is a yearning,a longing and an addiction that is expensive to feed and justify.Hold it, balance it, carry it, shoulder it, then shoot it-- ENJOY IT!! How sweet it is!!

This market is very competitive and as 500 Nitro has said it is the features that obviously seperate the players and the $$ spent.

I was saving for a new car or to redo a bathroom but I guess now the only solution here is to scheme to BUY MORE DOUBLES and HUNT MORE!!

Attaboy, Hopdoc!

You have your values in good order. Who needs a car or a remodel job on a bathroom? Not me! Go for the DR!

No kidding-

I'll take a '72 pinto and some exposed lath and plaster around the old clawfoot tub alongside a new double rifle over fresh tile and a new wagon *without the new rifle* any old time.

I sent them an email, and they told me around 12.5k, intro.
Seems a bit much for a plain-jane, but a nice rifle though.

CPTCurl--

My sentiments entirely!!

Gotta keep pressing cause if I meet my maker and the wife ever gets in the gunsafe-whoa--- boy is she gonna be p*ssed!!!

She suspects though-

She is always asking--
Why do you men need nore than one rifle/handgun?!!

I perk up and I tell her-
Just like you women have so many shoes but can only wear one pair of shoes at a time--

I need more than one type/caliber of rifle!!!

Yup,You gotta fight for the right or else!!

In reply to:

Any thoughts on the Heym vs. Kreighoff, Merkel, or Chapuis.



From the guns I've handled at a few gunshows, I'd say the Heyms had noticably better fit/finish than the Chapuis, Merkel and Kreighoff. It basically seemed like a higher quality product.

The Heym PH to me looks like a standard "plain jane" users rifle but reportedly well made (I haven't seen a PH model yet in the 'flesh') for the price point. Probably why they named it a "PH" model. Most PHs are not well 'heeled' and if they can afford an entry model, would prefer something well made and balanced, but engraving doesn't kill angy buffalos.

It isn't "blued" well the action anyway and little engraving. This can all be had with excellent engraving, the buyer just needs to pay (a lot) more. My own preference in a new modern made double rifle is minimal engraving, rather than poorly executed engraving which to my eye detracts incredibly from what otherwise might be a reasonable double rifle.

If I had the dollars to spend of course I would love fantastic engraved scenes but would rather hunt with a double than not one at all.

Another thing I like about the Heym 88-B PH is that it's available in 450NE as standard. From what I have understood from the other compairable makers, this would cost a couple of thousand dollars more as an option.

What's all this discussion about "blued" actions ?

What other actions are "blued ?

They aren't blued, they're hardened, either Colour Case Hardened
or hardened by a different method (I can't remember the name of it)
and left as nickel/silver finish.

Merkel do the same thing, so does Searcy so why all the crap about
the action not being "blued".

As to fit and finish, it's often reffered to as "build quality"
and those that look at the price only just dont get it and buy
the gun based on the price and don't know about it until
they try to sell the gun and buyers notice the difference.

500Nitro

I agree completely with your comments about so called "blued" actions, therefore the reason I put the word "blued" into quotation marks in my post above.

I think the original poster who mentioned "not being blued" may have made the comment in jest.

NitroX,

My post was directed at others as I noticed your post
had the words "..." and even if they were in jest, I was
more commenting on getting the terminology right
and that for some, it doesn't matter what the $ are, it
is still too high !!!

I'm guessing the post was directed at me. I'll let the snippy comments pass. I've decided to go with a Searcy rifle, for a number of reasons.

Re "I've decided to go with a Searcy rifle, for a number of reasons."

I just looked at Searcy's web site and they aren't blued either !!!

No.

Good luck with your Searcy. It is good to have variety and many members also own rifles in the Searcy brand. Start a new Searcy thread if you wish to ask them about their rifles.

I think DoubleD made the comment in jest, and quite funny but not necessarily true.

I'd like to echo NitroX's comments - good choice.

By the way, can you ask butch if he'd "blue" the action !!!

I think the 'Pimp My Double' package includes vertical gold-line pinstriping on the barrel regulation wedge and gold inlaid rims around the muzzles.
Gotta have a grille on that thing!!

That and the super-lux niterjob gltra-gleam barrel blacking job.

Oh-
And instead of a single bead front sight, there's a mercedes three-point reticle in the sight-hood!

That'd be perfect out here in Downtown Oakland.

If you are going to pimp out a double, just copy the world's butt ugliest double, the Winch Mod 21 (which handles like a sow superglued to a snow shovel). Had to be a French design.
