Was that Heym a military-style with clip guide, thumb cut and C-ring?

I picked up one like that in .308. Marked “Made in Germany” on the left side of the receiver ring. Very light, less than 6.5lbs. Stock resembles a 1970 Sako.


No, it was a Montgomery Wards rifle I believe. I wish I’d have held onto it. Would have been a great platform for a 7x57 which I’ve always wanted.


I’ve seen those online.

I should have said mine has a military-style action. The rifle is, and always was I believe a sporter, not a conversion. Heym’s post-war history seems a bit muddled. Very nice rifle, and managed to get here all the way from Alaska without any COVID-related damage.

What fresh Hell is this?
