I feel that Merkels have an unwarranted reputation as clunky and graceless, a bit too 'Germanic' or mass-produced for some. My response is 'ask the man who owns one'....

It think this standard applies to every double rifle (and consumer product for that matter).

I would imagine that the vast majority of Searcy owners are very happy with their rifles. If they were not, I doubt there would be a waiting period of one year of people trying to give Mr. Searcy their hard earned money.

Obviously Mr. Searcy's product fills a niche in the market place. You are a litigator by training/trade, I'm an economist. Opinions vary greatly in their value and relationship to reality, however, one of the few economic truths is "that nobody is smarter that the market place". The "current" market place says that Mr. Searcy's products represent a "good value" ..... in 25, 50, or 100 years, who knows???
