Re: .577 Thumper being offered - Searcy

Ha! Ha!

If I am not mistaken about which rifle this is...

2 months ago that gun was owned by a fellow in Arkansas. A real nice guy to talk to. I offered him $11K for the rifle (which has had less than 20 rounds through it) but he wanted $12K. A few days later someone in Texas bought it. I assume he paid the $12K that the owner in Arkansas wanted. It was a good price because the same gun runs $18K new.

The original owner thought he wanted a .577, but after pulling the trigger a few times, he opted for a lighter caliber in a vintage Brit gun.

The second owner bought it on a lark.

And the third owner has only had it a short time.

This probably says that few folks can stand up to the recoil of a .577!
