Wow. I had no idea they were made in this warmed over gas station from 1956 at the absolute end of the earth, but I do know that my Searcy DR is a wonderful piece of hardware.

Been thru there many times in years past. Only thing around there of interest to me at the time (many years ago) was all the experimental aircraft at Edwards. I have only seen one Searcy in person and that was a 500 owned by a PH in Zimbabwe who was really a top notch Lion man. The day I saw it he had killed a lion in his yard the night before. They had some bait on a trailer and the Lion decided he wanted it then. He said it was a really good rifle and he loved it and trusted it to take care of any Lion he encountered.

Can't go see Butch without a visit to the Mexican Restaurant! tu2 By the way, I believe that's an old quonset hut from wartime, not sure that it was ever a gas station. Big Grin
