By the way, by coincidence I had to call Searcy today to find out about loading data on a 577 I picked up on the secondary market. Sturgis couldn't help, and they said to call Butch. He called me back as soon as he finished up on something in the shop, gave me a lot of information on how the rifle had been regulated and made some excellent suggestions on lighter loads for causal shooting. We then swapped some industry gossip and he said to call back if I had any questions. Given that level of support for a customer who bought in the secondary market, I would not hesitate to recommend that you purchase one of his rifles. Dave
