Lee440,

A fair number of years ago I considered buying a Searcy/Browning conversion (might even be the one you are looking at now, as I wouldn't think there weren't a tremendous number of these done

). At the time I researched the few that I could find info on, and the "unsubstantiated rumor" was that the 470 was at the very upper end of the durability range for that action.

I wasn't happy that it had a single trigger. On top of that, I wasn't overly impressed with the looks of the conversion aesthetically. It looked more like a chunky shotgun than a rifle to me. I also didn't care for the look of the scope mounting system that was installed on the rifle I considered. I do not regret passing on it.

I certainlly can't tell you whether to get it or not, and I can't tell you how durable it really is. I hope this SMALL bit of personal info might be of some use.

Jim
