Using one of his .470 Nitro Express rifles, Butch won both the 2003 and 2004 Western
Double Rifle Championship - part of the Gold Medal Concours d'Elegance of Fine Guns.
If you've wondered how well a Searcy rifle can shoot - just take a look at the letter
and target that was sent to Butch by one of his clients.
As a valued customer I do not feel that I should have to put up with the accuracy problems
I'm having with my Searcy .470NE. Please see the enclosed target. The rifle will be sent
to you post haste so as you can re-regulate this rifle to shoot to European Standards. I
don't have to put up with this 1 1/4" group stuff when the Europeans get to have 4" groups
with their rifles on a regular basis. That means those guys get to cover nearly 2.4 times
more target area with each pair of bullets sent down range. In other words they are getting
more bang for their substantially increased buck.
Butch, calm down, I'm just pulling your leg. I don't know if I've ever come right out and
said it, so here goes. THANK YOU for making such a GREAT rifle. I love mine and wouldn't
trade it for a new liver! Keep up the good work!
