Built on the legacy and reliability of the Model 88, the new HEYM Model 89 is a tribute to a bygone era in British gunmaking history. Its classic lines incorporate the best design elements of pre-war, British, boxlocks, while modern steels and precision machining capabilities provide the most in strength and reliability. The HEYM Model 89 is a proper British double rifle… made in Germany.
Stocks (right or left hand) are made-to-measure to ensure a perfect fit. Receivers are scaled in five unique sizes and are designed from the ground up for double rifle cartridges. Each caliber receives a unique barrel profile to ensure proper balance, weight distribution, and that “weight between the hands” feeling that is synonymous with a well-designed double rifle.

Shown here in deep relief with gold banners, this leopard is one of many animals available for engraving.
Hand-engraved and stippled sight ramps are one of those little details that don't cost a great deal, but they do add a certain touch.
The engraved muzzle adds a touch of "extra-finish" that is seen only on best-quality firearms.
Extra metal is first welded to our standard top lever, then it is sculpted away and hand engraved to capture every detail.
The Black Rhino fits nicely on the grip cap of this 89B.
Optional trap grip cap shown here with Grade 3 engraving and case colors.
Case colored, small parts provide very classic accents for a fine rifle.
For that special touch, we can engrave parts of the rifle that are normally hidden from view. Every time you take the forend off, you'll be reminded of just how special your HEYM is.
The hand-hand engraved rear sight features a gold line for fast sight acquisition and stippled surfaces to reduce glare. Standard on the Model 89B and optional on the Model 88B.
Stock Ovals with hand-engraved monograms or initials are available in Gold or Silver.

We drill, rifle, lap, optically inspect and hand-assemble our rifle barrels entirely in-house, and we still insist on using the “shoe-lump” method of joining our SxS double rifle barrels. It is the oldest method used and an area in which we will not compromise quality to reduce costs. Each barrel is one, solid, uninterrupted cylinder of steel from breach to muzzle. This is a more labor-intensive and a more costly method of building barrels than the more commonly encountered “mono-block” barrels.
Disk-set strikers enable firing pins to be easily replaced. Extra firing pins and the appropriate fitting spanner tool are available as options for the 89B.
Chopper-Lump barrels are available at an additional cost. Please contact us to discuss details.
HEYM doubles are guaranteed to shoot less than 2" at 50-meters. Right barrels print to the right, and left barrels to the left. Our rifle barrels do not “cross.”
All HEYM double rifles are factory machined to accept either the Trijicon RMR or Docter 3 red dot sights. Please contact us for the appropriate mount.
English-Style, Flat-top-Checkering is now available on the "Express," 88B and 89B as an option.
Optional, folding, leaves are available on all HEYM rifles.
All 89B rifles come standard with a long trigger guard and steel grip cap.
HEYM’s cold hammer-forged barrels are renowned throughout Europe for their exceptional quality, precision and accuracy. In fact, of the roughly 6,000 barrels HEYM produces each year, 4,000 of those are sold to other gunmakers for use in their rifles. Starting with bar stock, we cut, drill, hone and rifle each barrel entirely in-house. This is the only way to ensure 100% quality control through every step of the process.
Claw Mounts enable the shooter to quickly remove the scope for access to open sights or to quickly add the scope for longer range shooting. They are easy on and easy off with 100% return to "zero."
Conveniently located in the forend and just in front of the action, the optional ejector/extractor switch enables the shooter to quickly select between the either automatic ejectors or extractors. This can be useful at the range or when a silent reload is necessary.
All HEYM double rifles are factory machined to accept either the Trijicon RMR or Docter 3 red dot sights. Please contact us for the appropriate mount.
The recessed, two screw, rear swivel base is both functional and attractive (shown with optional case colors.)
An optional peep sight is available on the Models 88B and 89B. The removable aperture enables the rear sight to also serve as a "ghost ring."
Shown here on the Model 88B, an extended top tang is available on both Model 89B.
The traditional ivory Night Sight provides a large front bead for fast sight acquisition in low-light conditions.

HEYM barrels do not require a break-in to remove tooling marks left from button and cut rifling processes. Thousands of pounds of pressure in the hammer-forging process mold the steel around a hardened mandrel forming a much smoother interior surface than either cut rifling or button rifling. Our forging process work-hardens the steel into a much more durable barrel and provides roughly 2x the barrel life of a button or cut rifled barrel without sacrificing uniformity or accuracy.
