Re: Questions about early Searcy double rifles?

In reply to:
have read on this forum and others about shotgun actions, even reworked ones like the Merkle, not holding up to heavy use in large calibers. I recently talked to a well known expert on double rifles and he advised me that these type of guns shoot loose fairly quickly.
Yes, we've all heard about this, but in fairness the the Merkel (and the Rigbys built on 20ga Merkel shotgun frames) no one seems to have seen one personally in which there have been such problems.
Personally, it sounds like Elvis & UFO sightings to me... lots of talk about it but no tangible evidence to prove it.
