Will, nice looking piece. Mike Brooks here on AR has my Searcy 450 NE now...ask him for his opinion. 500 NE is my favorite DR caliber. | |||

Thoughts? My thoughts are that it is a very good rifle, very good chambering and very good price. But then I own one and just got back from Africa on a successful elephant/buffalo hunt. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I don't think that Will would go for it. It has 2 triggers! Very nice wood however. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

A GREAT price for a GREAT GUN. If anyone is in the market for a large caliber DR, I would seriously consider this rifle. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

It says: PH-Model with upgraded engraving. How does that model differ from his current Classic or Field Grade. And if someone knows, approximately what would have been the original selling price.

I think I'm out. One, I leave in 50 days. That's not much time to get settled into a new rifle. Second, the LOP is 15 inches to the front trigger, just a little long for me. Third, the gun is on the left coast and I'm in Alabama. I hate to drop 12k on the deal, sight unseen. I'd want to fire and handle the gun first. I have the serial number if anyone would like to call Butch and get the skinny on the gun. PM me and I'll share it. I PM'd Butch, but he has not responded as of yet. Will J. Parks, III | |||

SL, I'm here to help you rationalize this purchase. You can thank me later.  One, A 15" LOP is perfect for you because... Remember that it's ALWAYS easier to shorten a LOP than to lengthen one. Cut sand reinstall the recoil pad done. Second, It's a SEARCY if there's anything wrong with it Butch will fix it no questions asked. Third, Airline tickets are cheap you could be in San Diego in like 4 hours where you could give it a good once over at the range. So what's REALLY holding you back? Ain't you got the hair or what?  | |||

Beautiful rifle, to bad that sales tax in San Diego is just shy of a full 10%. I couldn't stomach giving an extra $1000 to support that gun grabbing state government. OUCH! Better to have it shipped.

Have it shipped back to your dealer...no sales tax for out of state purchase. | |||

CCMDoc, Go for it and ship it down to Michael458 for load development and barrel mods. He can do something about the sights also. SSR | |||

being left handed is fine you could always have the stock converted and triggers changed when i sold my 700 nitro the person was right handed and had to convert my stock and have the triggers changed to fit him. im currently saving up money for a 577 double only have 14k atm gonna need bout 30k for a decent rifle though unfortunatly gotta love paying the primium price for those 577+ caliber dosnt take much more materials or even time to make but they defintly like raping your wallet for the bigger guns im a certified machinist/tool maker the only thing stoping me from making my owen rifles is the canadian paper work wich is a toatle bitch atm. | |||

As far as I can tell from the ads, both of these are new in box but I could be wrong about it. No real interest but in either sale, just trying to help a fellow big bore double guy out.

Doc, you're right! We Big Bore guys have found the best means to help us justify having rifles that are flat out over-the-top way tooooooo powerful... get as many other people to buy them as we can!!!! | |||

I have yet to be blessed with owning a Francotte double, but my best friend has one that I can shoot or borrow anytime I want..' Those German Francotte's are the finest double rifles I have seen including all the great English guns.. I'm talking just the guns themselves and the workmanship, not the engraving and bling, those extras are cosmetic and can be had on any gun, not saying I don't like that stuff, I do.

Francotte firearms are made in Liege Belgium not Germany IIRC. | |||
