I am trying to find a guy from the NW maybe Washington state who was building double rifles using SXS shotguns. Some of his guns have been sold on this sight. Has anybody got any ideas? THANKS, BUCK

You can expect to pay at least a few thousand dollars for any of his guns (with the price potentially going into the tens of thousands).

For 30 years Butch Searcy has been building rifles-all sorts of rifles. While you might have seen one of his products at a silhouette or bench-rest match. His specialty is the big-bore double rifle used for hunting dangerous game in Africa.
Butch's first double rifles were conversions of Ruger and Browning shotguns. In 1993 he designed and then began building his own rifle. His objective was to produce an extremely reliable, accurate and affordable "tool [his word] for serious hunters." His perspective on how that should be done was forged by his own big-game hunting experience and a long relationship with executives of PHASA, the Professional Hunters Association of South Africa. Currently more than 40 African PHs-licensed Professional Hunters-carry Searcy rifles.
