Tim CarneyBest thing I've done recently, Butch, was upgrade from your raffle rifle I was so lucky to win to this superb rising bite!
Regards, Tim

ELeetonBeautiful! I'm sure it shoot as well as it looks.
I thought your rising bite had Rigby shaped locks? Why the change?

I don't think there is any doubt about that rifle shooting well! I've never seen a Searcy rifle that was not as accurate as a double rifle can be built.
Good show Butch, and congratulations Tim!........

Butch SearcyI'm not sure if your question was to me or Tim. In any case it's not a Rigby, and there was no change on my part.

You are an amazing craftsman. Are you sure you are not English? You will like the pages you have in my upcoming book on the bore rifles. Goes to the printer in a week or two.
Cheers,
Cal

Amazing. Looks like I will be adding one of Butch's doubles to my "Wish List", in 500 NE, 577 NE, or even 600 NE.
