Guys,

A comment on Butch Searcy's customer care.

A couple of years ago I bought one of his field grade guns ... used. Was all I could afford. Gun was in great shape. I sent Butch a note asking for loading information which he sent when I supplied a serial number. It is insanely accurate shooting a lot better than I can see ... 2" or so at 100 yards with open sights. But the trigger pulls were different. I didn't think too much about it save that I'd use the back trigger first because it was a bit light.

Decided to measure it when there was a discussion of potential doubling on this board and/or on the AccurateReloading.com boad. The front trigger measured a crisp 4 pounds. The rear trigger measured a crisp ... whoawwwww ... 1 1/2 pounds. (Please note that even with the 1 1/2 pound trigger I NEVER experienced a double ignition.)

Sent a note to Butch asking the cost of repair and delay to return. He simply said something to the effect of ... "send it on ... no charge." The rifle left my door on Tuesday of last week. When I checked to see if it had arrived, I got a note that it had already been shipped from his shop back to me on Tuesday of this week. The tracking info is that it will be here on Monday.

That is simply AMAZING service and makes me awfully happy that I decided to buy the rifle. If (or when) I can afford to buy another, there is no question in my mind who I will buy it from!!!
