Comparing a Searcy and a WR or H&H is like comparing a Honda sedan to an Austin Martin, or a Bentley. The Honda is reliable, safe and will take you to the same place a Bentley would, but you just can’t compare them. I own a 470 searcy and find it accurate and durable, you also don’t have to worry about putting a few scratches in it. For myself living in the states I find owning a firearm that can be repaired in a very quick turn around time a plus. Butch stands behind his product and was a pleasure to deal with. Don’t get me wrong if you have the extra 125k for a H&H then you don’t have to worry about what to buy, just buy them both and see for yourself. If not, well I like my searcy it does want I want it to do at a fraction of the price of a new royal grade H&H.
I just can'

t justify spending that kind of money on a H&H, if your going to spend that kind of cash, I’d look at the Westley Richards or William Evans for about 55k-65k. either one would be my choice for an English double.
