My new double

pagosawingnutMy new double
I just got in my newest double. Made by Butch Searcy in .450 NE. Haven't had a chance to shoot it much yet but with the 10 rounds I had loaded up, I hit everything I shot at, up close and personal all the way out to 110 yards. Maybe I'll get a chance to put it on paper tomorrow to check for regulation but, so far it appears to be very accurate
Sorry for the sorry photos but I'm not very good at pictures.
Congratulations on a great DR in a great caliber,110 yrds is pretty damn good.

Very nice, Rick. Is that going to Nixon's shortly?

pagosawingnutYes, sir! In about 6 weeks I think. That and the .500 for my hunting buddy.

Your pics are great and that rifle is a twin sister to mine.

Be interested in how you compare the two calibers
May it be the start of many new memories.

pagosawingnutThanks Gentlemen.
Cal. Really? With all the fancy doubles you possess?
I certainly like it so far. It appears to be a shooter. Raining steady here today so no chance to check regulation with the CEB's but don't think it will be a problem

cal pappasEngraving never has done much for me but wood does! Your rifle's wood sends me.
Cheers,
Cal

I agree - and while I do not think Biebs would ever admit to going to bed with a Blaser, he probably has woken up with a few!

pagosawingnutDave,
biebs ain't the only one that enjoys his Blasers! I just picked up a .338 WM and a .300 RUM barrel for mine. Quite the arsenal now.

So what you're saying Rick is that you've expanded your "pig" farming operation!
18 June 2015, 21:51
pagosawingnutSo! The Navy is now trolling? First YOU and NOW you have the Admiral backing you up....
You damn guys
19 June 2015, 08:25
rodellYou should sell that Searcy to me before it makes enemies with your Blasers.
19 June 2015, 08:38
pagosawingnutOnPoint,
You could have bought it when Butch put it in the classifieds!
Besides, it IS a .450 Nitro. It would probably hurt your puppy ass.
19 June 2015, 18:36
rodellProbably, since light calibers I shoot from the hip!
Rob, these are centerfires, not rimfires :-)

rodellIsn't 500 NE for my Contender??
