Searcy Double rifle raffle

13 February 2010, 18:58

I thought some here may be interested in this raffle. I spoke to Butch and he gave me the green light to post this here on the forum. Anyone who knows Butch very well, also knows how active he is with his Granddaughters soft ball team. Well they made it to the National Tournament! To help with the costs Butch is donating a custom double to be raffled. Pretty good odds here for anyone interested. Butch said about half the tickets are already sold so if you feel lucky, or just want to support a great cause, jump in quick.

Here are the details butch sent via email.

"My granddaughter's team has qualified for the national championship tournament in July of this year. To help with funds to get the team there, I've donated 100% a Field Grade rifle to be raffled off for the team. Please read the flier and remember, Send the checks to the address on the flier, not to me. Also if you win and don't need a 470 I'll change the caliber.
Good Luck and thank you."

To sweeten the pot a little: this rifle is the very last Field Grade that Searcy will build. They were discontinued at year's end.

The very last one, people!!

I just got ticket 035 in the mail Friday. Fingers crossed - I actually like the field grade better than the engraved models.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Check mailed last week It seems increasingly likely that "one of us" might own this rifle.
Usually I just "win" a hat at a banquet, but hope springs eternal.

I hope we Canadians can get involved, it is quite easy now to have paper work done for importing. A second double would be a nice addition to my gun cabinet.

$100 for a 1 % chance at a 12K rifle, sounds way to good to pass up, and for a good cause also!!

There's still a little less than 30. I will keep you all informed daily till the tickets are sold out. And I'll post all the info on the drawing. The winner will not wait long for delivery on this rifle.
