About the Heym HPPR
The Heym HPPR (High-Performance Precision Rifle) is a German bolt-action precision rifle built by HEYM Waffenfabrik around the company's SR 21 three-lug turn-bolt or SR 30 straight-pull action. Chambered in .308 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum, it wears a 26-inch cold hammer-forged Krupp-steel barrel produced in-house and a hand-checkered European walnut stock. Each rifle carries a factory accuracy guarantee of five successive shots into 20 mm or less at 100 meters, and ships with its own test target.
HEYM, founded in 1865, cold hammer-forges roughly 6,000 barrels a year and supplies a large share of them to other European gunmakers, a reputation for barrel quality that underpins the HPPR precision line.
