    Further evidence of the decline of the 450/400 3"?

    Keep in mind that the mfg of the rifles also need ammo to regulate the guns and will impact production if they can not get it also. The mfg of the ammo only make the big bore ammo in short runs and concentrate on ammo with a higher demand. Ammo for the big bores was often spotty before the...

    Hunted in the camp that is on the river, started with a "S" but I do not really remember. Karl will know, I believe it is his only camp on the river. Weight, one was a touch over 65, the other just under if memory serves me right.

    NAMIBIA: Hunt Report Ndumo Hunting Safaris Karl Stumpfe

    Had a great elephant hunt with Karl. The camp was only a year old & very comfortable, staff were polite and efficient. Karl is always fun to talk to as he is also a gun crank. Karl has also put me into the running for the 2014 "Fastest Elephant Hunt". A little late leaving camp as I was busy...

    B. Searcy 500/416 NE

    Two thoughts One is that not all of Butch's entry level guns have timed screws. So a good chance no one has been into the gun since leaving the factory. See Second, the 500/416 is a interesting cartridge but I personally feel it has a much sharper recoil than the older NE cartridges. The...

    Need some help looking for a new used double

    I do not think he will find a used Searcy rising bite as it is a fairly new model & probably not a lot of them floating around yet. BTW, the V-C guns do have 3 bites, just not at the top. On another topic, if you think the cross bolt through the rib extension will save you in the case of a...

    Need some help looking for a new used double

    A couple of thoughts. Do the stock dimensions work for you? A double needs to fit. Balance? Multiple barrels sets can be difficult to be balanced with all the barrels Shotgun tubes, it is difficult for shotgun barrels to be useful on most double rifles, if the comb is correct height...

    Want To Buy 450/400 Or 470 Double Rifle

    For approx $15K you can buy a new made to order sxs, round body, ejector Verney-Carron with you exact stock dimensions (cast, drop, lop), for $21K you can have the gun and a second barrels set. A double needs to fit and has more in common with a quail gun than a bolt rifle. When the gun comes...

    Searcy Double

    I assume you are outside the US. I would give Butch Seracy a call and ask if he has someone in you country that has parts (or access to parts) and can make any repairs that might be needed in the future. Butch does a good job on service work in the US but export to and from the US is a pain...

    Is there a reason to go beyond 470NE?

    The 450's and 470's are in the same class. The 500 is a big step up in power, the 577 is another big step up from the 500. 500 ammo is available from Hornady at a reasonable cost. 577 and 600 ammo is more difficult however a number of smaller custom loaders offer both. I have made a number...

    Sabatti report

    No two double rifles are the same, no two double rifle shooters are the same. I shot the same gun. From cold barrels with 5 to 7 seconds between shots with factory ammo it shot fine. If I waited 15 to 20 seconds it would sometimes cross by a inch. Crossing can also be because of how hard...

    Merkel 141 vs Chapuis UGEX? HELP PLEASE!

    The Chapuis and Merkel are about the same quality of gun and would suggest you look at both and decide which fits better. The Chapuis has a longer length of pull and will weigh about 1/2-3/4 pd more, the barrels on the Chapuis will also be almost 2" longer, and in the case of the 9.3 the...
