Not for everyone, surely. BUT, I went to my local dope dealer yesterday an ordered one.
A story: Back in the mid-60's, I happened to go to a gunshop in Shreveport, LA, owned by a 'smith who would become pretty famous for his customized 1911's. Can't think of his name, Jim???? I sure some of you know who I'm talking about. Anyway, as I say, it was before he became real well known. He had built a .375H&H double rifle for a customer to take to Africa. Said customer used the rifle, then brought it back for Jim to sell. The price was $1200.... Now at time, that was at least 4 months wages for me. As out of reach then, as a Searcy is now. But I was hooked. You remember the auto commercial where the guy touches the car and is suddenly racing down the road? That's the way it was: I held that rifle and I was IN Africa.
Will it hold 3" at a hundred? Hey, that's good enough to pop a few whitetails or hogs.
Looks? I'm good with wood, and a good rust blue is not all that expensive.
Yeah. I want one. BAD....
