Description:
F.W. Heym Model SR20G rifle in 8x56 mm caliber. Full excellent condition, very nice wood, topped with a Leupold Vari-x III scope.German big game hunters often use 8×68mm rifles in Africa for hunting plains game, where American hunters would choose one of the .30 or .338 magnum cartridges. The 8×68mm as a pure civil cartridge can be used in countries which ban civil use of former or current military ammunition.After World War II when German hunters were allowed again to own and hunt with full bore rifles. The 8×68mm was made available to hunters who previously had problems with handling magnum cartridge recoil and had stepped down to less powerful but for German conditions adequate medium cartridges like the 8×57mm IS, 7×64mm (Brenneke) or .30-06 Springfield (also known as the 7.62×63mm in metric countries). This was accomplished by fitting an efficient muzzle brake to significantly reduce the amount of recoil for recoil sensitive shooters. With the help of a muzzle brake the 8×68mm recoil is reduced to tolerable levels
