.500-

Searcy and Rigby are the only DR builders in California.

Not so much an opinion, just the facts there.
If someone knows of another Double rifle builder in Califronia besides those two shops, let me know. I'd like to get out for a visit.

There might be guys rehabbing shotguns into rifles, but as far as new-built guns those are the only games in town -- California town that is.

This isn't to say that either Searcy or Rigby are the only guns to get, or that I think that by any means that they are the best choice for anyone.

Hope that clears that up for you.
