That's a really good rifle. Owned one years ago in .30-06 caliber.

The rifle was made by Heckler and Koch for Heym of Germany. It was sold in the 1970s-1980s. Methinks it's same as the Heym SR10 or the Mauser M-3000.

If the rifle has the Heym name on it anywhere it's worth more bucks.

Well I did not walk away, he came down on price a little more and I brought it home, it does have the Heym name on it the Mauser markings so I will let you know if it shoots !!

You have a very nice rifle there at a great price. Let me know how the rifle shoots.

Wasn't the Western Field a rebranded Winchester Model 70?

Or was that the Ted Williams line?

No. The Ted Williams models 53 and 73 were re-branded model 70 Winchesters.

This is the deluxe .30-06 model of the Heym manufactured gun that is the subject of this thread.

I forget the model number but I have had Sears BAs in 3006 and 270 that were
FN 98 Mausers. I think from 50s, very nice rifles and can be had at reasonable
price.
