I still have my Searcy 700 doudbe that I purchased 5 1/2 years ago and shoot it regularly. I don't really care if it has a history or not. I like it and enjoy having it. While a limited market, I do not see many for sale. The 2 Wilkens sold and Butch has made several more, one was even done in all stainless steel. Big and heavy, but part of the limiting factor may be the cost for a 700 nitro double. They certainly don't give them away. My 700 is 9 lbs lighter than my 4 bore double, so I guess weight is all relative. I know it is not the most practical gun out there,but I enjoy collecting the big bores and shooting them. Not to everyones liking, buy to some. Now about that 2 bore double cartridge gun ...........
