Yes, this would be my first double Yes that's it. It was made in Italy.

I didn't like the way the metal was fit to the wood (not that it wasn't the way it was intended - I just didn't like it as much as some of the others I've seen- you can see it in the pic's). Loved everything else about it - color case hardening, engraving, balance, feel, look, handling, etc.

I've handled the Merkels and liked them, handled a bunch of old English guns - liked most of them. Didn't like the Kreigoff or the Blaser. Read so much good about Heym, most it seems prefer this one over the Merkel. Haven't handled a Heym or a Searcy. It sounds like the early Searcy's maybe weren't up to par (correct me where I'm wrong - please). Don't want to screw up and buy something at a "deal" and regret it. Love the look of the new Searcy's and am not opposed to the Merkel's (less money out of pocket is good...). Not sure that I know enough about what to look for in the English guns to avoid disaster.

How are the Searcy rifles? New versus used/older Searcy? There are alot of used Searcy's floating around it seems.

I'm all ears. Thank you for your help.
