It's my understanding that Searcy double rifles are quite well regarded and generally considered to be good value.

Again, this is my understanding and I could be wrong, (cos I don't own one) but I think, if you wanted a practical hunting rifle to bash through the African bush, a Searcy would be well worth considering. Given what you get for your money, the price for this one seems pretty good.

Now, that said, what you aren't buying, when you get a Searcy, is the fit and finish of an old English double. As long as you understand that, you should be okay although, others may have an somewhat different view.
