I'm still saving my pennies for a double and am leaning toward a Searcy even though I haven't seen one yet, for the following reasons, in no particular order:

1) Searcy makes a rifle that is intended to be a tool rather than a "work of art". The only work of art on any double is the picture scratched into the metal and referred to as engraving;

2) Everything I've read indicates a lifetime no questions asked warranty on Searcy doubles, and other doubles purchased new at any price apparently do not have such a warranty;

3) For far less than the cost of a used mint condition English gun, Searcy will make a double rifle that is built to fit the buyer;

4) PAC NOR barrels. Bead blasted or blackened stainless steel PAC NOR barrels would be even better;

5) Most parts on the Searcy rifles with the exception of the barrels, sights, and sling swivels, appear to be made of stainless steel;

6) No snooty considerations of "art" or "investment" or any similar BS if buying a Searcy. The "investment" argument is bizarre considering most who mention "English double as an investment" intend to buy it and keep it and play with it until they die, which is a bit different from a real investment, which will be sold as soon as the desired profit margin is attainable. The "investment" argument may work on a blonde wife but you shouldn't confuse a hobby with an investment.
