Butch makes really good guns. I'm pretty sure it will not only shoot well but give you years of use. BTW, he's just a great all-round guy.
View attachment 24420 Top, my new Searcy 470 NE. Yet to shoot it, some of my reloading stuff must be caught in the great back East snow storm hahah
Bottom my 1920 Yohann Springer 9.3X74r. I had great luck in developing a regulating load, second try and it shoots as good as I can hold at 50yds. Hope the 470 goes as smooth.

Sarge,
Should have seen The Merkel this kid brought in before I left the shop! He has borrowed it from one of his friends and got mud in one of the barrels at the muzzle.
It wasn't pretty.
And he was in deep ****!

It makes you wonder what happened to teaching about watching the muzzle. Personally I do not think I would be loaning a fine gun like that. I just had a small part in my little Darne break and lock up the sliding breech. I was lucky, in that repair and a new "custom" made pin from Kirk Merrington came in at less than $300.
