Heym Martini Express .416 Rigby – 2025 Production | Unfired | Exceptional Walnut
Description:
Offered here is a brand new, unfired 2025-production Heym Martini Express chambered in the legendary .416 Rigby—one of the finest modern interpretations of the classic African safari rifle.
The Heym Martini Express represents a modern dangerous-game rifle rooted in traditional British safari design. This example features a 24-inch barrel optimized for proper balance and velocity in the .416 Rigby, delivering authoritative performance with exceptional feeding reliability.
The controlled-round-feed action incorporates a massive non-rotating claw extractor, fixed blade ejector, and a three-position safety, ensuring absolute confidence under field conditions.
Weighing approximately 10.1 pounds, the rifle strikes an ideal balance between recoil management and responsive handling in heavy cover.
Serial number 11450.
The stock is crafted from exceptional walnut, selected for strong figure, depth, and contrast—wood rarely seen outside higher-grade configurations. The grain structure is strong through the wrist while presenting bold, flowing character through the butt, offering both structural integrity and visual presence. The stock measures 14 3/8” length of pull and is perfectly proportioned for instinctive mounting. Fine wraparound checkering is sharply executed, and the overall architecture reflects classic safari lines with subtle cast and ideal drop for iron-sight use. The metalwork is finished in deep non-reflective satin blue, contrasting beautifully against the walnut. The rifle is fitted with an island rear sight and ramp-mounted front sight, along with a barrel band front swivel in proper safari configuration.
The .416 Rigby remains one of the most respected and versatile dangerous-game cartridges ever developed—renowned for deep penetration, reliable terminal performance, and manageable recoil relative to its authority. It has earned a century-long reputation on buffalo, lion, and elephant, and continues to represent one of the most balanced choices in the dangerous-game spectrum.
In today’s market, new Heym Martini Express rifles typically involve a 6–12 month factory wait, depending on configuration and wood grade. This rifle is available immediately, representing a rare opportunity to acquire a current-production example without delay.
Talley quick-detachable rings are available separately, allowing seamless optic integration while retaining traditional iron-sight functionality. Ammunition is available separately.
An exceptional dangerous-game rifle suitable for Africa, collection, or long-term investment. Video walk throughs available by appointment.
