DoubleD:

Since you have informed us that "I am not a double gun person, just a wannabe" and based on that experience you have decided that "there is nothing of substance in the Searcy criticism", it would seem that your question is moot.

Be that as it may, the four of us who posted comments regarding the Searcy - Mac, Mickey, 500 Nitro and myself - all come from the same perspective, we all have owned and used various British double rifles over the years. It is hard to explain the difference to someone who has not had that experience, and Mac's cut is a little different. Yeah, its subjective, but not very.

Go buy yourself a nice second-hand British boxlock double rifle and live with it a good long while. Shoot it, clean it, carry it, hunt with it. Then go handle a Searcy. That will answer your question, I promise.
