Exclusive Report: The 2007 Safari Club International Convention
Exclusive Report: The 2007 Safari Club International Convention
Butch Searcy
This actually happened: I was sitting in Kenny Jarrett's booth, discussing how a lack of fried food could lead to premature death, when a man came by and asked:
"Where can I get a good double rifle for $10,000?"
As one, Kenny and I said: "Butch Searcy, in the 200 aisle."
And here is that rifle. It's called the PH, and is just the kind of no-frills-knock'-em-on-their-ass gun that an African professional hunter would covet. Butch makes the whole thing. It has 24-inch barrels, comes in .375 H&H, .470, and .500 Nitro Express, and costs $10,500. This one is a .500 Nitro, and is stocked for a left-hander, only the second southpaw double rifle I¿¿¿¿¿¿ve seen in my lifetime. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Searcyent.com.

Guess Marlin got the hint, their new guide gun looks a lot like this one. Coincidence?
The first one looks lke my Marlin .35.It was my Papaws and he gave it to my Dad and he gave it to me.
OK. Explain to me why you would buy the Echols when you can buy the Jarrett for less, and it's just as good, and probably more accurate. There is no reason other than to say you have a $12k rifle. It won't do a thing the Jarrett won't. There is nothing better about it. He doesn't even put in the work that Jarrett does. Echols just throws together and tweaks other people's stuff, and charges way more. Jarrett makes everything, and charges way less. Maybe Echols looks grim because he knows he is a massive rip-off artist that charges much more than the other, more talented riflemakers. If it wasn't for insanely rich fools, he would be out of business.
