Bighammer, as far as I am concerned, Butch's rifles are awsome. They are well made, well balanced and very accurate. he also is a great guy who is old school and is very interesting to talk to. He calls a spade a spade. In fact, because my .500 turned out so well in every way, I decided to purchase my .577 from him, and that rifle, being a deluxe is even better than the PH(this is not to say that the PH model is bad at all) Bighammer, you will be extremely happy with a searcy .500 and will not regret it, you just need to be a little patient with the wait.
