I recieved word that Butch is sending my 470NE

That is great! I hope to win the raffle that just maxed out today here at AR for a Searcy. Then I will be able to have Butch do another LH double.in 470 for me! Let us know how yours shoots when it comes in.

JP,
Did you get the deluxe or the field grade, ejectors or not??
IB, that next searcy will be a left handed 470ne, but mine if I',m the winner of the raffle.

John Paul,
I sure hope you post pictures of that new double after you've shot it of course. Butch puts out a marvelous product. You know how fast the raffle sold out. Have a great time at the range.
take care,
Dave

im glad to see im not the only lefty out there

i have a searcy coming as well and it should be complete in about 3-4 months

its a box lock under lever presidential grade 700 nitro express

after my 700 comes in i will be looking at a presidential grade box lock under lever 500 nitro.

Iron buck and Shondor, good luck to you both on the raffle.

My rifle is a field grade 470NE with ejectors and
a steel grip cap, as a little extra add on, and no sling attachments

Sorry, I don,t even own a digital camera or a
scanner. Hell, Our computer runs on something called a 200mmx pentium??????========Slow. I just use it to mail things and check the AR site

Glad to see there are those out there that can afford the kind of High quality that butch can put together on the deluxe and the higher grades.
I am not one of them though, mine is just a field grade. I have been down to the shop and seen the rifles of which you speak. They are AWESOME. and Butch is a pleasure to deal with I am sure you will not be disappointed.

JP

john paul i talk to butch at least a couple times a month to check in on my rifle and to ask questions and he is one of the nicest people to talk to

any question i have regarding hunting or his rifles he is happy to answer to the fullest of his extent if he dosnt know then he directs me to those who may.

its like a kid waiting for christmas i cant wait to get my 700 and do some serious shooting

i have 1 elephant hunt booked in 05 but and buying another 1 for the end of this year i have to talk to my booking agent

I've never actually handled a double, but I'm a lefty. What makes it LH? The stock? The break lever? Just curious.

Pertinax

Pertinax,

The cheekpiece is on the righthand side of the stock, stock cast goes the other way, and, ideally, the front trigger fires the left barrel (and the rear fires the right barrel).

George

Interesting. So if I win the raffle, should I get one in LH, tough it out with a RH (because of the resale value difference between RH and LH), or (for the same reason), get a hybrid: RH action, but LH stock? Anybody want to opine on this?

Pertinax

When you do get your searcy, get it left handed for your own convenience, and let the next guy change the butt stock to right hand...or better still, sell it to another lkefy, and keep the best the way it is.
