I may have to drop teh coin for another ticket as well this is KILLING me.

caliber would be a rough thing for me. I already have a K gun in 470 and I have a standing offer from my doctor to trade me a Merkel 500 NE for it.

I have always wanted a .450 but I think I would have to just stick with the 470.

i contacted Mr Searcy about a week ago on another topic and will confirm his response to the raffle. The gun will be a "classic" in your choice of calibers from the web site and upon drawing the winning ticket he will have a fitting for the rifle so it essentially is not a off the shelf gun. Ir appears to be made from scratch once the caliber is selected.

Hey, don't worry, all those other guys owe me money and their checks won't clear! A 450/400 will do nicely!!!

This is money way better spent than fighting the illegals at the Quickie Mart for Powerball tickets!

Anyway, glad to contribute to the softball team, Butch. Make sure to post their scores and a picture of the team.

Butch,

Looking forwrd to the results.

All Participants,

GOOD LUCK !

If I am fortunate and lucky enough, mine will be a .500 NE.
I have always loved Butch's selection of wood, I have never seen a Searcy with wood I did not love. ( I've seen about 10 )

Cheers Nitro

In a telecon with Butch on Friday, he said that the holdup was to allow funds from outside the US to clear. He still expects the drawing to be held some tim during the first week of Nov.

Guys the girl that is in charge of the booster club had a family thing come up and we will have the drawing tomorrow evening. I'm very sorry. I have several guys wanting to order rifles, but are waiting to see if they might win the drawing. So I want this finished also.
Good luck to all once again.

nitro,

If you win this raffle does that mean you won't be adding a .338 Lapua upper to your AR lower?

Built the extra lower into an M4 and sold it.
Still have the Colt 6450, 6700 and 6721.

Congrats to the winner.
