On all future Double Rifles ordered from B. Searcy & Co. there will be an accessory pack that will include an extra set of fireing pins, fireing pin springs, and a wrench to allow you to remove the fireing pin bushings for cleaning an if necessary replacing of the pin or spring. Also in this pack will be an extra set of main springs. Replacement of mainsprings is only authorized by a competent gunsmith. I will also have a Double Rifle Cleaning kit available very soon.
On another note I'm taking orders for the PH Model again.

That is an excellent idea.

If one owns a Searcy DBL rifle can we purchase an accessory pack?

Does this require us to send our rifles back to you?

Thanks

Good idea Butch.

PH models again huh? Hmmm...Are you going to make them in your smaller action size?

Just curious, when Butch decided to stop taking orders for

the PH model what was the reason and, why has he decided

to again take orders for that model?

Probably had to catch up on his backlog on the rest of his rifles.

Butch: I ordered a Classic .577 a while back (5 or 6 months); it will probably not be delivered for 6 or 8 more months. Will an order such as this qualify for the accessory pack ? Thanks.

Hi Frank B., Have you ever shot Doc52's Searcy 577NE?

No, I've never shot his rifle ...... I did get to handle it last January in Dallas, but not shoot it. How does it shoot, and kick ?

It's a grand rifle to see isn't it? I was afforded the opportunity to

shoot it and I did take the opportunity. It is a very powerful rifle

and it inspires much confidence in the shooter so long as the shooter

does not fear it. Recoil is honestly quite pronounced. But again, if

one does not fear it, it is managable. I do not call it pleasant, but

it was also not horrid. You must understand that you are going to

take a big hit and that you must allow your body to move under it

then recover for follow up shots. I've done it. I won't shoot that caliber

again, but I will, given the chance, shoot a double 600 NE if it weighs

at least 14 pounds. My newly acquired 450/400 makes me happy

and gives me all the confidence that I need. It's a vintage Osborne.

I ordered the rifle, as much as anything, for the novelty of owning it. I'll shoot it, but probably not a lot. I considered a .500 NE, but already having a 450/.400 3" & a .470, I thought I'd try the .577. I've already accumulated 60 rounds of brass & about 200 Woodleigh bullets, so I'm probably set for life for shooting the big double. I do hope to shoot a buffalo or elephant before I get too old with the .577 ....... we'll see.

Have a good trip. I'll take my .41 cal DR and my

.375 H&H bolt action when I go, when ever that is.

For each double rifle that I have built for myself, I have made up a spare set of pins, springs, and a wrench. They are always in the fitted case for that particular rifle. It would be a shame to be in "the back of beyond", have a pin or spring break, and be left with a single shot rifle for the rest of that hunt.

Looks like I need a Searcy in 400/395NE.

Doc's rifle is a beautiful rifle, and I've shot it. You certainly do not have to ask anyone if it went off, after you pull the trigger, but let's face it, it is a 577NE double rifle! Nuff said!
