All I could think of when I read this is Popeye's old saying, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam." LOL
The Handi rifles have several things going for them. First is the cost. Most of us have to admit that was the reason for our first purchase. Second they are great fun to tinker with. Something you wouldn't consider doing to a costly rifle, wouldn't be a problem with these rifles. I've had much more fun trying to get a Handi to shoot proper groups than I ever had with a rifle that shot great right out of the box. I think I just talked myself into buying another Handi!
