Description:This highly attractive double rifle combines the aesthetics of a classic bespoke double with the intense firepower of the .700 Nitro Express cartridge. Ramped beaded blade front and fixed express notch rear sight on a raised quarter rib marked "B. SEARCY & Co BORON CA U.S.A". The large, bright coin-finished receiver features flourishes of fine floral and scroll engraving with matching engraving on the under lever, and upper tang. With dual triggers and a tang mounted safety switch. Mounted on a fancy figured, lightly marbled English walnut splinter forearm with a Deeley type latch, and borderless multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with a swept right hand shadow line cheekpiece, engraved steel grip cap, and solid Decelerator recoil pad. Stock measurements and weight are: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/2 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; 17 pounds 6.8 ounces.
Rating Definition:Excellent. 99% original blue finish remains with some light handling marks. The receiver is finished bright and has some very minor dark surface spotting. The wood is also excellent with crisp checkering, attractive grain, and some small dings. Mechanically excellent.
