My Searcy Double.
04/06/06 01:45 PM

Hi All

Thought it was about time I extracted a digit and told you about my Searcy double. I think it might be the first one in Australia but I'm not sure. I received it in April last year after being lucky enough to be the winner of a raffle on AR. It took 2 yrs to get to me after winning it and I had a few dramas with customs in Brisbane when the trigger pull for the left bbl was too light.

She is a deluxe boxlock with side plates and I chose to have her made in .470. Butch regulated her using IMR4831 but I have settled on 90 gr of RL15 with a 5 gr wad of polyester.

Here are a couple of photos of some scrub bulls. The first one was a one shot kill at about 80m using a Woodleigh soft point. I let my mate Bob have the honor of taking the first head of game with her and he did it in fine style. The bull (a really old fellow) took off at a run but only got as far as one step before coming to ground.

The second bull I shot with a soft and then a solid out of the left bbl as he tore off. He pulled up out on the flat so I gave him another soft into the shoulder as he quartered to me. I really don't think he was going anywhere as he looked pretty sick.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers.

GG
