Well after a painful wait, I finally received my new Searcy 450/400 PH model. Fit, finish and detail is well above expectations (I asked Butch to spend a little extra time making it right). I haven't taken it to range yet (just arrived last night), but it will be going today. I am remiss for not taking photos, but I will post them over the weekend. It is equipped with the Talley QD mounts and a Leupold 1.5x5. I had it regulated for the non-Hornady load since I plan to shoot the "Woodleigh" loads orginally used by Butch.

Based on the Fed-Ex scale I used last night, it weighs in at just over 9 lbs (9 lbs 2 oz to be exact). I took some measurements and the LOP over the pad to the front trigger is just over 14 1/4". I am a short guy (5'6") but was curious as to your LOP compared to your height? It seems a little short, but I might just be crawling up the stock a little too far. Just curious....
