Hi Giys: Just thought I'd tell you that I handled a Searcy 700 double yesterday, at Westley Richards US outlet in Bozeman, Montana. I didn't ask the price. A plain Searcy gun, heavy as a Jeep axle. I'm afraid if a buffalo charged me from 40 yards, he'd have his head down to hook me before I could lift that beast to my shoulder. Much rather have my old John Wilkes 475 #2 at 10 pounds 8 ounces.

Bluedevil,

The Searcy .700 at WR appears to be the same as the one on Gunsamerica, unless there are two left handed Searcy .700's for sale at the same time. Probably the owner has consigned it and will take the Gunsamerica ad down.

Keith:

While at the Westley Richards outlet, did you happen to know if they ever got .500 NE 3" inch ammo in? My Merkel was regulated with their soft point ammo and I want to get some to see if the pattering is better than the ammo from Superior Ammo or my hand loads.

Thanks

Yes it is the same one I saw him post that WR has it now. I thought he was having another 500 made?

It looks like the .700 in question is now posted on the Westley Richards website and it has some additional, hi res pictures. Price listed at Westely is "Call."

It looks like the grip on that monster is about as thick as my forearm! One massive rifle.

Mickey,

I think it will. We have a a guy here (Hans van Hees) who does excellent leather work, dozens of different holster designs for CAS etc, all hand sewn. I'm having two made, one for DRs/drillings with a 24-26" barrel and one for 16.5" levers like my 1895 Marlin (which is in a calibre I daren't mention) and they are supposed to to sit flat on the back at a slight angle to facilitate the draw. Hans hasn't made these before so He''l just use his common sense and I have every expectation he'll come up with a functional design which will also have a very pleasing appearance.
