They are A&D design, and are made, and improved by B. Searcy from scratch. Most doubles today are either A&D, or WEBLEY designs, but made by the co. building the rifles, or bought from an action maker in the white, to be finished by the rifle maker. The barrels, and barrel sets are usually not made by the rifle maker either, and in the case of Searcy's, the barrels are, I believe, Pac-Nor. Over history, very few rifle makers made their own action, or barrels, and even the ones that did, made copies of the A&D, and Webley actions, but usually fitted the parts together, made in the rough, by others.

The thing with Searcy actions, the roughed out parts are done on CNC machines, and can be reduced, or enlarged to what ever chambering the buyer wants. Simply program a reduction of 20% and you have an action that is 20% smaller, and vice-versa. This is a big cost saver. However, the fitting is done by hand exactly the way it always has with double rifles.

Searcy rifles are not Purdeys, and Butch himself, will tell you that, but they do not cost what a Purdy costs either. There is one thing you can be sure of, nobody makes double rifle that is more accurate than a B. Searcy, regardless of the name engraved on it!
