Going to get a new rifle, Handi or OE?
« on: January 04, 2008, 04:08:41 AM »
I loaned my brother my Ruger M77 .270 and it was "stolen"  ::)  I looked at Rugers, Tikkas, Encores, Handis, and Optima Elites.  I have narrowed it down to the Handi or the OE in .270.  They are within $60 of each other and would like to know which you would choose and why.  I would prefer to only hear from folks that have actually shot both.

Thanks,
Kendall

the folks in the NEF forum have a lot of experience with the Handi.  They are going to tell you it is a great gun, from what I have seen I would agree.  I know the Handi has more barrels and a shotgun barrel.  This versatility, rock solid reputation and the longevity of the Handi would be key features in my purchase. 

Have you posted and questions about the Handi in the NEF forum?  I know you will get some great feedback?
