John SSearcy Classic??
Anyone have any pictures of this new model? I have read it will have a chrome/moly action instead of the s/s used on the others. Any ideas on the price or other details would be appreciated.

JoeRPrice, $12,000 till the price increase which is likely about the end of this month. Trim rifle, weight is only 9.5# in 450-400 according to Butch.

John SI wonder what the price increase will amount to? I'd like to get one but need more than a week to get things in order! I'd want a 470 with 24" barrels, folding night site and hinged front trigger.

lb404The price will go to $15,000.00 the first of FEB. That is why I ordered mine early. I will take delivery later in the year.

KINOJohn Call Butch and get in a deposit to reserve a place in line. Waiting a week will put you even further down the line after the DSC show. You can likely work out a deposit of less that %50 and send the rest later. At Reno several persons were told about a year out for new orders.
I also asked about the night sight. All three seemed to think it was mostly for show and not real practical in todays hunting. I opted out.

KINOBTW the action is chrome moly and the articulated trigger is extra.

John SThanks everyone, I'll try to contact Butch and get something going. I've already sent an email so maybe I'll hear from him before the Dallas show gets going.
