Another "Handi Newbie" from South Florida
« on: August 24, 2009, 05:17:20 PM »
Hello all!

I just got my very first rifle...ever: a Handi 22-250 Ultra Varmint Fluted.
Searching the net for ways to "optimize" it, I stumbled upon this fountain of knowledge.

Work behind a desk all day, spend my off time 'tween cycling and my handguns (shooting paper)...Oh yeah! and taking care of the Mrs.
Now that I got the Handi...one of the above will have to accomodate... No, not the Mrs... I want to live...  ;D

With your permission, I'd like to stay for a while and learn a bit.

Regards,

Argon
