Maineguide&Marrakai,
You are both correct. Clark and I looked at a couple of WR's before deciding on a Searcy. Both had pitting issues in the barrels and had a 25K price tag on the 500NE and 35K on the 470NE. I spent 6hrs with Butch on my FIRST visit. When all said and done I'll have a custom 577NE that was built to fit me and built to my specs. Then again I could of bought a high dollar British DR that was built for someone else for the same price, or more, But then it wouldn't really be mine now would it.

Peace, Through Superior Firepower,
