Re: Butch Searcy's double rifles
27/04/04 10:53 AM

I have sold two rifles and bought one through Drake and none of them went for the asking price. As you know he asks quite a bit more than most others for similar value. I don't mind when selling and when buying reasonable offers always prevail. I have bought and sold a couple of 'High Grade' Rifles and the asking price is rarely paid.

I have no personnel issues or considerations of Searcys rifles. I have been looking at them since the first one appeared at SCI, the old ones built on the Browning Shotgun. Those were some of the most Butt ugly rifles I have ever seen, rivalling the bottom end of the Cogswell and Harrison line.

I think that they are a good value in the new rifle market. I agree with Butch when he says he is not competing with High Grade Guns but with the other rifles in his price range, $8-12,000.

I don't think that they are the Best in the World and I feel that a lot of people on these forums that don't know much about Doubles are being steered down a flower strewn path by some of the comments of posters. When I read posters who say that they have never handled a Double but want a Searcy I cringe at their lack of overall knowledge. But that's just me.

New cars, new TV's, new watches and new guns don't resell for more than their original prices. That's a fact of life. Not Kreighoffs, not Merkels and not Searcys. I won't spend $5,000 plus on any rifle I can't sell for a profit. As I don't hunt professionally I will never get my money back in work or pleasure so I prefer to get it back in cash.
