MIKE , I answered that in my last post, but didn't even consider the Searcy because the questions were about Britt, and Euro doubles. My pick would be a Used Britt, if they were the same price, and the Britt was in fine shape. That wouldn't be a hard decision, if you had only one rifle, and you wanted an investment. However, if I wanted that one rifle for strictly field work, and Travel hunting, then the Searcy would get my nod. Of course if I lived in OZ, or the UK, then the cost of the Searcy wouldn't be worth the hassel of government BS. As long as I live in the USA, the Searcy would make far more sense, for a useing rifle! You see, I don't disrespect any double rifle because of where it is made. For my use, a double rifle is a bought, and never sold, aquirement! If a rifle is good, and well made,I couldn't care less where it was made, and I will certainly not pay a premium for a double based on where it was made! Some of the best double rifles I've ever owned were bought for less than $1000US, because the owner didn't know what they were, or how to get ammo to shoot them, and most were German made. Most were war souveniers from WWII. Sufice to say, I like any well made double rifle!
