Searcy is the only one I know that makes a 450/400 3 inch with proper 26" inch barrels. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

You can get a Chapuis in 450/400 3" from www.evolutionarms.com It will have 24" bbls. Newguy is working with Heym on having them make 450/400 3" doubles. He is trying to convince them to make the bbls 26" but I do not know what the final decision is. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I'm pretty sure if you want a Searcy with barrels shorter or longer than 26", he will make them for you. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

Searcy's standard barrel lingth is 24", the 26" are special order! Tony, and I looked at the Evolution Arms 450/400NE 3" double, at the DSC show this year, and it looked fine as well, but the new Searcy Classic is top notch, though it costs more, it is more rifle as well!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Mac and Rusty are correct the Searcy Classic in 450/400 would be a good double. 577Nitro and Doc's 577 Searcy looked handled and shot very good. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Butch Searcy makes a very nice gun for the money and he will make it with 24 or 26 inch barrels. Check with New Guy on the Chapuis, if they do make one you should be able to order 26 inch barrels over the 24 inch if you want them.

That sounds like an excellent idea and I'll bring the Merkel .500 (if they will let me shoot it at Silverdale) and I should have my Merkel 9.3x74R by then, too.
