I've been looking at that Searcy myself, however the weight of the rifle seems pretty light at 10#4oz. most 470's I see are 12 or more pounds.

My H&H 500 3 1/4" was 10lbs10oz, my 500/450 3 1/4" is a couple of oz less. There is no way either rifle is objectionable to shoot and I would not want them any heavier.
That is from shooting them, and also some friends shooting them. They left a lasting impression - desire
The quality is impeccable. From rifles built 110yrs ago.
I would rather have a relative light well fitting rifle than a heavier club, and have sold rifles that did not meet this criteria as shooting them is not such a pleasant experience, even in relatively light recoiling cartridges.
