i took delivery of my new Searcy 450/400 yesterday and i must say that i am more than please with it. fit, finish and balance are excellent. i didnt order a wood upgrade but the wood on mine is gorgeous. so far it's only been fired 4 times, twice by me and twice by my 20 year old son. i took out one old milk jug and an old orange juice jug with my 2 shots and my son put his 2 shots into an empty coffee can. great fun. we were shooting Superior Ammo 400 grain loads. anyway Butch makes a great rifle.

Good for you. I assume this the $15K version. I am curious as to its weight, if you can find an accurate scale. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

I talked to Butch yesterday about ordering a 450-400. He told me that he brings them in at around 9 1/2 lbs. I wondered if 10 wouldn't be just about right. We're getting together at the SCI in Dallas so I can get measured for mine. Dutch Holding center. | |||

thanks to all. i'll try to post some pictures as soon as i can. Will, i got the ph model. Dutch, the letter from Butch says it weighs 10 lbs. the trapdoor grip cap on mine added some weight i'm sure. DRSS | |||

Welcome to the dark side. Better make room in the cabinet for another -- just like Lays', nobody can own just one!  Mike | |||

the Searcy has made meat!!!! i took a spike buck yesterday evening at around 7:40 with a hastily cobbled handload consisting of 47 gr 5744 with a 210 gr Hornaday pistol bullet. the buck dropped in his tracks and the bullet passed through. and by the way that flip up "moon" sight works like a charm.

degoins: Did your 210 grain load shoot to point of aim? Do you have a load to duplicate the cordite load? Dutch God created man..but he sure the freak didn't use a monkey. | |||

Dutch, the load hit point of aim but the left and right spread was about 2 inches. i only shot that load once, then loaded up 4 more shells and went hunting. i'll try it again later on in the week and i may have to do some load tweaking. i got this load from the Accurate Powder technical guy. it's a mid-range load and is supposed to be going around 2200 fps.

TWO bits of good news, THREE EVEN if you count the good shooting with the "light load".  Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||
