I don't think you'll find one, because if something is wrong with one of his guns, Butch will fix it.

I have never heard of a Searcy that did not shoot good.
I shot 500grains 500 Nitro and it was spot on.

The only problem I have ever heard with a Searcy is with the 577. The bbls usually split like Yosamatie Sams shot gun when he is hunting Bugs Bunny.

Sorry 577NitroExpress, could not resist.

I say again the Searcy Classic looked, and handled, Mighty Fine.

I've never shot one that wasn't accurate, regulated perfectly! Eventhough the older Searcys were strictly working rifles, and some times a little rough arount the corners, they were always regulated properly, and shot tight 4 shot groups at regulation distance. Over the years, the rough edges are slowly disapearing, and giveing way to rifles like the new Classic which is, IMO, Butches best effort yet! I haven't shot this new rifle, and don't know anyone who has, except Butch, and his employees, but I'd bet my next retirement check, it shoots just as good, or better than anything you will buy today. You might find prittier, and more expencive doubles, but, IMO you will not find one that will out shoot a B. Searcy!

capebuf, I think you will find more people praising the accuracy of Searcy doubles than any other brand. Or perhaps more than all other brands combined! His rifles are also warranteed just in case, so you get the best of both worlds - reputation plus warranty.

So I log on to AR this morning and find capebuf posting for the first time and already posting about PVT. OK, could be coincidence I guess. Then I come over here and he is not so subtly talking smack about Searcy. Look, I probably wouldn't hunt with PVT and would likely not buy a Searcy for various reasons but that doesn't mean I appreciate people stirring the shit within 20 posts of becoming members.

Carmelo? Is that you?

Just curious,

John
