I never met a double rifle I didn't like

but there are a lot of used up English guns out there and thats a fact...I have owned some wonderfull and accurate English guns, sold most of them to folks who post here..

Today I own a Searcy PH, and Butch won the Double Rifle Championships with it and it shoots better with any load than any rifle I have ever owned..It is the ultimate using rifle and I can shoot monolithics in it...It will come to POI with any 500 gr. bullet..I just can't see how it can be beat, it speaks for itself IMO..

I don't see any competition between todays modern production rifles and yesterdays old English guns, they both deserve a place on the wall..The English guns cost more and are a better investment..The Searcy is a better using gun to trust to the Airline baggage handlers and it shoots better as a rule, it is stronger..all this is fact, not assumption, so what!

I also feel this wouldn't be much of a forum if everyone was of one accord on rifles and hunting..Opinnion is the wonderful thing about these forums, it gives us all a perspective on these things and its up to each of us to seperate the facts from the chafe..

One has to realise that when someone drops $8,000 or more on a gun, he is not going to take it kindly when someone trashes his gun even if it is trash..can't blame him for that, but honesty comes into play also, I hope that everyone speaks their mind on such a forum, otherwise it has no validity..
