Bulldog563,

I own a .577 delux with upgraded engraving. First off I will say I love the rifle and I've enjoyed the whole regulation experience. I've been guiding grouse and woodcock for the last month so I have not completed my range testing. I will get back to the range in two weeks. What you should consider is that the recoil is heavy. I found that it takes a while to get used to it and that a range session for me is about 8 to 10 rounds. I bought the gun used and it was a little short for me. This lead to my thumb knucle hitting my nose upon firing. After adding a 1" pad I find the recoil manageable. I will be posting my end results when I'm finally there. As for Searcy's quality, service and value, he can't be beat in my opinion.
