Re: Butch Searcy's double rifles

In reply to:
The English guns may be expensive but you will always get you money out of them if and when one decides to sell. The guns manufactured outside of England do not have that luxury.
This is a popular but untrue myth. Some data points:
1. I paid $7K for a Searcy double, and the same rifle today goes for $8500 used.
2. Lots of people who by used English guns have to get them re-worked at a cost of several thousand dollars and do not recoup that cost again.
