Well that is a bit of a pleasant dilemma for choice is it not?
The Heym on a Mauser should be a pretty decent arm as well, so it might be a toss up?
That said, I've played with an older Voere 7Mag that was built on a Mauser and was disappointed in the results with the bullets we tried, so just because it's built by European craftsmen on my beloved Mauser actions doesn't always mean success I suppose?
While I fully realize that Voere and Heym are two different entities from two different European countries, up until I played with that rifle I'd had 100% success with old school European rifles. Now I can only claim 99%.
Anyway Ed, I'd make an semi educated guess that both would do yeoman duty for a whitetail rifle for your BIL.
Again, good luck with your family rifle project whichever way you decide and all the best to you and yours this weekend.
Regards,
Dwayne
