Hey Matt,
At least you got a 416 to keep ya warm at night and abuse your friends with during the day! Keep you're head up brother.

At least he responded.... And gave some kind of time frame.

Better than Montana!!!! I still can't get over that one....

Mr. Searcy has been much better to deal with then Montana Rifle Co. for one thing he is fixing it for free despite the gun not being under warranty. MRC has blown off any attempts to get information by saying "we will contact you when its done".

matt do montana rifles exhibit at sci? then you could at least see them in person...........

 

[Heym 88]

Matt, did you ever get your double back?

 

[matt85]

sadly the rifle is still with Mr. Searcy. last I spoke to him he said he was get to it later this year.

[Heym 88]

Dang that's a long wait

 

[CTDolan]

Good things come to those who wait.

At least we hope so, in this case, given that the wait with MRC didn't end so well.

 

[enysse]

Should have been a gunsmith, no where else can you hold a gun hostage and no one things twice about it.....lol

 

[CAustin]

Matt you simply have the worst luck with rifles.

 

[Heym 88]

Matt have you gotten your double back from Searcy yet?

 

[tarbe]

Speaking of 500/416....anyone with such a chambering needs to go to Midsouth asap...they have some Norma ammo on closeout...under $4 per round!

Matt have you gotten your double back from Searcy yet?

[Heym 88]

ok Matt, I am keeping up with your dilemma. Did you ever hear back from Butch on your rifle?

 

[matt85]

I last spoke with Mr. Searcy at the SCI show in Vegas. he swore up and down that he would start working on the rifle in March. however March has come and gone and no word from him...

I will be sending him another email shortly.

[Heym 88]

damn.....

 

[matt85]

here is the latest word from Mr. Searcy:

Matt,
I have corrected the chambers and now I'm replacing some of the internal parts. Another week or two and I'll ship it back to you
Butch

hopefully things will turn out ok... but at this rate im not holding my breath.

[stug]

Fingers crossed, you need a bit of double rifle luck to go your way Matt.

Despite not being obligated, he's doing the work at no cost to you. What would it set you back were it not on Butch's dime? In my opinion, it's a gracious gesture and therefore worthy of the wait.

before coming in an preaching, I suggest you read more of the thread. what your saying has already been said by myself.
