That was quick! Congrats on the purchase.

for sale again

I thought 458 was considering his first double as either a .470 or .500.

458, are you sure about a .577 for your FIRST DR?

I can tell you from first hand experience, my .577 has a lot more recoil than my .500, but the recoil from the .577 is like a VERY BIG, HARD SHOVE compared to the fast wack of the .500.

700 nitro: sold pending funds to 458lottfan

Congratulations! Good buy too. But better you than me!

i say shoot what every you want my first double was the 700 nitro my second a 500 nitro

458 could not have made a better buy in 100 years 14k for the 577 searcy standard rifle is a chance in a million.

Congrates, 458LottFan,
I have a 577NE from Butch Searcy also, And can tell you from experiance, The 577NE is one hell of a Round! It was nothing like I thought it would be! I found it manageable, and not as sharp, as far as recoil, as the Merkle in 500NE

Doc and 577
I would like to see ya'll load some of Woodleigh's 650 gr BP bullets in you 577 at Nitro for Black velocities for and pigs for the next DRSS hunt.

I guess the caliber of my first double is a bit bigger than I originaly planed (.577NE Vs 500 or 470NE). But for the price if I don't like it I figure I can sell it and get some thing else and not be out any cash.
Pluse now I can rub it in to my older brother that my double is bigger than his And that is worth alot to me!!! Ha Ha.

I will let you all know how it gose and post some photos once I get it.

458:

Welcome the the .577 NE DR owners group!

trust me on this one if i didnt already buy the ryan breeding 505 i would have bought that 577 but it would have been redundant.

Just so you all know I just notified the owner of the .577 that I will not be purchasing the rifle.

I had a conversation with Mr. Searcy a little while ago and got new info on the rifle.

It is open to who ever is next in line.

If you need info on the gun call Mr. Searcy yourself and get it from him or maybe 700Nitro I do not want to be missquoted or missreprestnt anything.

Thanks

Will Barks

Tony,
Consider it done! I have quite a few 650BP bullets in stock. I just have to work out the issue that I'm having with my dies!

Than what the fuck are you doing wasting time in front of the computer? Get your ass in the back room and "git-r-done..."

I think it's time for an avatar change, Doc? Whatcha say 'bout that?

Here's a good avatar for Doc52.. may need to be cropped to get some detail to show though..

Nah, I was thinking something more along these lines:

Or maybe this one:

its back up for sale......

How did you get my picture?

Judge:

How can you desecrate a noble game animal by posing next to it with a (horrors) BOLT rifle? For shame. It's bad enough to shoot them with that geehawed contraption, but when you take the picture lose the thing! Totally tasteless.
------------------------------------------------
"Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder."

That picture was taken in the same century as the one with Teddy. It was before I became a double owner. BTW, it is a .404 Oberndorf so it was only venial, not cardinal sin.

Ok, I've been haggling with Tom over this 577, and the pics look good. It's definitely a standard grade gun, has quite a few tiny hunting dings from the looks of it. I know this guy and butch apparently had a huge falling out, so much for factory backing, maybe not, but it's a heck of a gamble to take, when there is a 470 a 500 and a 450/400 all on the market now in the 10k to 11.9k range and they all look like new and some have ammo. Oh well, let's see what happens...

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON SEARCY 577

I BOUGHT THIS RIFLE NEW FROM SEARCY AT AN SCI SHOW. IT IS A STANDARD GRADE, WITH EJECTORS, VERY NICE WOOD AND COMES WITH 15 FACTORY SOLIDS. REPLACEMENT COST TODAY IS ABOUT $20,000 IT IS A VERY ACCURATE RIFLE. HAS MINOR SCRATCHES / HANDLING MARKS THAT $200 AND A DECENT STOCKMAN CAN EASILY CLEAN UP.

THERE ARE INNUENDOS THAT SEARCY WILL NOT HONOR HIS WARRANTY ON THIS RIFLE. HE NEVER TOLD ME THAT !

THE ONE -AND ONLY - TIME THE RIFLE WAS WORKED ON WAS WHEN IT DOUBLED IN ZIMBABWE. AN EMAIL TO BUTCH TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO G I WAPENSCHMIED IN SOUTH AFRICA WHO WAS HIS WARRANTY PLACE IN AFRICA. I WENT THERE, HE ADJUSTED THE TRIGGER PULL ( THEY WERE NICE AND LIGHT BEFORE) AND THE RIFLE IS PERFECT. INCIDENTIALLY, GI WAPENSCHMEID WAS THE COMPANY WHICH WAS BUILDING SEARCY RIFLES FOR HIM.

HAVING SUFFERED 5 ATTACKS OF CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE MY HUNTING DAYS ARE OVER. SO I AM SELLING THE 577 FOR $14,500 AND THE REST OF MY DOUBLE RIFLES.
I AM OFF TO THE MICHIGAN GUNSHOW THIS WEEKEND AND WILL BE BACK LATE SUNDAY NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST A PICTURE OF THE RIFLE HERE BUT CAN SEND YOU ONE IF YOU E MAIL ME AT CABLETOOLS@ALLTEL.NET OR CALL ME AT 814 774 5739
IN PENNSYLVANIA. I AM HER MOST ALL WEEKDAYS.

Tom,
If you will email the pictures of the rifle. I will post them here for you.

rkmojo@aol.com

Just because Tom and I parted ways doesn't mean that I wouldn't take care of his rifle. In fact who ever buys it I'll inspect it for the cost of shipping.

Good luck! If Shannon and I were not in the process of buying a new house you and I would probably be engaged in a bidding war!

Al, if you get that twice barreled cannon, I will help you shoot it. I enjoyed shooting Doc52's, last month. What a ride.

Hog Killer

Judge G,

is that one of the forest/pigmy/whatever Buffalo?
I have a chance to hunt them in May and Roan Antelope, but have been holding out for a Cape version.

Rich

Lhook7, I would never engage in a bidding war with a friend.... I place my buddies above any material item...
