#81907, Heym 450 3 1/4" Nitro Express Model 88B Professional Hunter; Made 1986 as a .458 Win. Mag. and then our Gunmaker, J. J. Perodeau, rechambered it to 450 3 1/4" and re-regulated to the current 450 3 1/4", The action flats nicely engraved to mark the 450 3 1/4", Made with their Anson type action with overhead sears, Safety sears and a Greener type crossbolt action body, The piece is with 25" Ejector barrels, 1/4 rib with 1 standing and 3 folding, Double triggers with the front articulated, Bolstered frame, Scalloped action back, Cocking indicators, Locking screws on key screws, Disengage able ejectors with the slide on the bottom of the forend at the knuckle so you can select either extractors or ejectors, All later Heym double rifles did not offer this feature, Slight beavertail forend, Shadowline Cheekpiece, Sling eyes, Steel grip cap, 14 3/4" LOP over a 1" pad, 9 lbs. 15 oz., Typical 88B Safari hand cut 20% engraving coverage, Full length trigger guard tang found only on the 88B Safari to a steel grip cap, Fairly nice wood with excellent grain layout for years of tough use, It has 99% original barrel blue, The original wood finish at 98-99%, The checkering remains at 100%, The bores are absolutely new. In the field of current double rifles, the Heym is only one of two that our shop feels comfortable with to go the course with reliability and function over the long haul of serious shooting and African hunting. These earlier Heym 88B's were the best they made plus it has hand cut engraving and features their current big bores don't have. We have had excellent results by converting .458 Win. Mag. double rifles to the great Rimmed 450 3 1/4" Nitro Express. Excellent cartridge for Elephant and Cape Buffalo with .458 diameter bullets everywhere.
