I am sure Butch can be persuaded to be flexible within reason.
I already have a .470 but need a .500.
So butch I will get my dimensions to you this evening so you can get started, even though we still have 15 or so tickets to sell.
Cheers Nitro.
Good luck to all.

I think all the tickets say 470NE and if it is locked in as a 470NE then so be it I already have a 470NE but I'll take it if I win it but I'd rather have a 375 flanged , and either way I will pay the extra coin for the scope mounts, and rings, and an Oak&Leather display case for it.
It may be that Butch has already started on the rifle,to get a jump on delivery, and if so that is fine by me. I can always sell my other 470NE double if I happen to win it!

Bob NisbetI have my ticket.
I thought the rifle would be a Classic.
Guess I was wrong.
I think my ticket says a Field Grade is what is being raffled.
My caliber choice would be the .450-400-3"

ddrhookI assume they may have been miss communication between Butch and the kids and the printer
I wold have loved to see that little girls face when grandpa told her she could raffle off one of his guns
. BUT no matter what the grade or the caliber it's still the deal of a life time to win one
08 October 2010, 18:40
Bob NisbetTotally agree that winning will be a wonderful thing.
I already have a Searcy DR being made, but I have two sons and would love to have another so both boys would eventually be recipients of those rifles.
Not too often that you have a chance to enter a raffle where your chances are 1 in a hundred.

Omnivorous_BobThe suspense is killing me! I'm going to drop another check in the mail tomorrow to help speed things up if there are still tickets and double my chances at the same time.
Thanks Butch. This is a worthy cause and fun at the same time.
