Phil, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Searcy double rifle! If you want one, and are willing to wait for it to be built to fit you, it is a bargain. Don't believe all the crap you hear about this one, and that one, because most of the folks who tell you one or the other of these double rifle are best or worse ones, are, in most cases only repeating what they've heard someone else, who has no more kowledge about them than the guy telling the story!

As with any double, if you use proper loads, that conform to the pressure constraints of the cartridge chambered in the rifle, it will, with proper care, outlast you and your grand kids! The one exception to this is, never buy a double rifle chambered for a cartridge that is not designed for double rifles, like the 375 H&H belted magnum, or the 416 Rigby! These type cartridges develope too much chamber pressure, and were designed for bolt rifles, not doubles!
