It was a European brand I purchased in the early 1990s.

Where are Heym made? It was definitely a Scandinavian made rifle and not a Blaser, I know them quite well.
Cheers.
Curious to hear the experiences of those who've actually shot elk with 6.5s of any ilk, rather than the opinions of those who've never done it.
Loaded with a sound projectile, like a Barnes or HH, I would have absolutely no qualms about taking a .260, Creed, PRC, SAUM, SSS, 6.5/284, etc. on any elk hunt anywhere elk live.

Over at RS there's a thread on taking deer, elk, moose, and bears with a .223 using 77gr TMK. I posted their results and I find it interesting being a student of terminal ballistics. But I'll still reach for a 7mm or 30 cal when going after elk. YMMV.

.300RUM. It will kill anything you point it at. With authority.

As serious question, without my usual attempted humor……wouldn't the felt recoil of the 7-08 in a super lite, be similar or perhaps even greater than that of the other two. Or, was it for ease of carry! Just curious. memtb

We'll find out soon. It's not so much the recoil that bothers me. It's my support side shoulder so it's the weight that's the issue.

215 Hybrid Lance?
Not sure I follow the question. Scandinavia is not a country, it is a region, that includes Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and sometimes also Finland and Iceland.. Heym is German, Steyr is Austrian. I don't know of a straight pull rifle that is made in any of the Scandinavian countries.
Yep! Heck, Jeff (BROZ) and his family can account for a few hundred elk with 210/215/230 Bergers with .300 WM when he was managing ranches. He was guiding huntets to help control elk population. I am pretty sure you remember that thread here and LRO. Most which are LRH, including his wife"s successful harvest. My longest to date is with a MT bull elk at 931Y with my .300 WM loaded with 190 Berger VLD.In the same token would be glad to hear from those who actually hunted elk with 7mm's or 30 cal. Most likely 180gr/ 215gr Hybrids
HELLYEAH!
