Exceptional design of a proven and much respected big game rifle, with only light signs of use and storage.
Heym was founded in Suhl in 1865. As early as 1891, Friedrich Wilhelm Heym was awarded a patent for a hammerless Drilling. Known for well-crafted weapons, Heym is appreciated for its Drillinge, double rifles and also shotguns. With the design of the SR30, Heym succeeded in constructing one of the fastest reloading straight pull action bolt action systems with manual cocking: reloading and cocking the firing pin spring can be accomplished in one single hand movement.
