I have recently put a deposit down on a Searcy Deluxe Boxlock in 500 NE. This will be my first DR and could use some help. The area where I am not sure what to do is on the fore end. Since this will be my first DR I have no real experience as to the pro's and con's of the different fore end shapes. Does Butch do different shapes on request? I haven't talked to Butch about this yet and I am sure he will be most helpful, but I would like to have as much info as possible before speaking with him on monday when I get measured. If anyone has advice/pictures of different styles with any insight it would be appreciated. Pictures would be especially helpful due to my limited experience. Thanks.
