Yes you are correct that is one hell of a statement, but true none the less!

I didn’t say that a B. Searcy double rifle was better regulated than the best. However what I am saying they are regulated as well as the best, and take a back seat to nobody’s double in that respect!

Butch will tell you himself, that his rifles were never meant to compete on the same level as makers like H&H, Purdy and many other well known names of quality double rifle makers. What he will tell you is his rifles will regulate as well as any of them, and work just as well if cared for properly, and if anything on one of his rifles goes south, he will fix it, even if you are the down the line owner of a second hand rifle. The one thing that will negate that warrantee is if the rifle has been sent to a gunsmith who buggered it.

If you call him on the phone about the regulation load of a used Searcy you have bought he will look it up and tell you on the phone. If that call is about something not working properly, he will ask you to send it to him so he can check it out, and fix it if needed! This is for life of the rifle, not the owner! All it will cost you is shipping!

I’d say that makes a B. Searcy worth considering!

Like CaptCurl, I’ve never owned a Searcy double but have shot several, and have friends who own them, for may years. The Searcy has, like any other product, improved over the years in over all fit and finish, but not in reliability which is top drawer, IMO!
