I've owned quite a few double rifles (and still have most of them).

I've never owned a Searcy and do not find them attractive in the least.

There's another forum on the web where you will find nothing but glowing reports, if you want to reinforce your desire. People here seem to be more discerning.

At that price point I would be looking at a Merkel.

You pay your money and take your chance.
