New to the forum but not to shooting. Been doing that for years but it's always been mainly bolt. For several years I have always wanted to try a Handi but just never picked one up. Well I found a deal on a new 7-08 and grabbed it. Put a scope on her, polished the barrel with JB and read everything I could here. I also put the o ring on the fore end stud as described and off to the range with some factory 140's. Man was I surprised when I left the range with her sighted in and some decent groups for factory ammo. I believe I am sold on this one. While the trigger is crisp and no creep for stock (5lbs) I think I'll tune it a bit. I also need to start working up some loads for this rifle as my other 7-08 has a 26" barrel. Anyone have any good recipes to start out with?
