Holmes:

One of my regular hunting partners has a Krieghoff in .375 Flanged Magnum that is extremely accurate and a real joy to shoot. It would be fine for non-dangerous game. However, I agree with 500 Nitro, the safety precludes it from serious consideration for use on dangerous game.

Mac is a friend of mine and is an old double rifle hand. I have a lot of respect for his views, but we have never agreed about the Searcy. Oh well, differences are what make the world go round. To be candid, the Searcy is, to me, a crude, cheap, sophomoric imitation of a double rifle that Butch has the gonads to ask a lot of money for. Some folks have bought them and seem happy, but I wonder how much experience they've had with quality double rifles. I think Searcy catches a lot of first time double rifle buyers - folks who don't know any better because they don't know any different.

Holmes, I strongly suggest that you look at as many double rifles, including second-hand English, as you can before you buy. Second-hand English boxlock doubles in .375 Flanged Magnum in nice shape are available in the same price range. Better rifles and money much better spent.
