Bwana_DaveMy new left-handed Searcy Field Grade .450 Nitro
I recently received my left-handed Searcy Field Grade double rifle with 26" barrels in .450 Nitro Express x 3 1/4". It is
a beautiful rifle. The wood is very nice and the stock fits well. The rifle is well finished throughout and locks up like
a bank vault. This rifle is a great value. This is the first time I have enjoyed the luxury of left-handed triggers and a
stock with cast-on. Given the good fit and a cushy recoil pad, the rifle is comfortable to shoot.
If weekend weather ever decides to cooperate, the next step is accuracy testing, chronographing the Hornady factory ammo
and developing loads equivalent to the factory loadings.
Here are a few snapshots. Ignore the fly on a few of the photos. He is a publicity hound.

SnowwolfeYour rifle looks a lot nicer than mine which was delivered to me last month.
Much nicer wood on yours and love the fact you can not see where the barrels join the action. Someone spent some extra time on your rifle and it shows
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
No flies on that rifle! Well maybe one!
JK very nice rifle!!!

SnowwolfeNot trying to say anything other than Bwana's rifle looks much nicer than mine, same grade, same caliber, built the same time and both left handed.
For now I have to refrain from giving a complete report on mine as it has not been shot yet but that will change tomorrow.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
