You may do some "odd" things to your handi's but they always come out pretty cool. ;)

If you want a cheek riser look at ATI's site. I got an ATI Collapsible stock with a cheek riser and it really makes a difference. I think they would fit the NEF Stock ... will require drilling 4 small holes but they'l be hidden from view after installation.

Tupperware crap!
Try to look unimportant.   Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Only Handi so far is a 375 JDJ.

This is the only post here that makes any sense.  I just bought a 25-06 with this stock.  I order my guns from a distributor so I do not get to hold them until they arrive.  I was not impressed with the the pics.  Just as most have said, it looked like the comb would be too low.  When I actually shouldered the rifle I found that it is perfect and extremely comfortable.  The rifle locks right into my shoulder.  Additionally, its ugly factor is limited to the pics.  I love how this stock feels and looks in real life.  YMMV.  With that said, there is one part of the stock that I do not like.  The rear attachment point for a sling swivel is molded into the stock.  Only time will tell how long it will take for that to fail it if does.  If it does, it will be very easy to install a normal swivel like the forend already has.

I wouldn't mind having one on a 22 mag with a nice scope for squirrel hunting.

The Handi-Grip stock is modeled after the Remington Sure Shot stock which has been very successful according to Remington, so it's no surprise that anyone that handles it likes it.  ;)

Looks like you can have it on almost any H&R gun you want.

I got to have it! Bottom line I will have one soon! I am thinking either 243 or the 26" 25-06. Buds Gun Shop has them for $275 in stock right now.

The 25-06 is the one I bought. I topped it with a 4-14X44 WA Simmons Master.  The trigger is okay.  I have a e-z pull trigger assist on the way.  My brother has one on his ultra slug hunter and it works wonders.  I plan on camoing the entire gun this weekend.  I plan for it to be my Coyote medicine.

Now what do you think of the look of the plastic crap?  It is only half done.  I am going to add green here and there.  This is my first try at camo.

I think the new style is getting better looking every time i see it . Skiforce did a nice job on the camo! Cheekpiece looks higher in his pic than the other ones. Looks high enough for me, just what I need  a new Handi ;D

I think I am going to order one for my 7mm-08. What are the normal "pallet" wood stocks selling for? I will be selling mine if I order the new stock.

Thanks for the nice words.  I hope I do not screw it up when I put on the next color.  After it is all said and done I am going to matte clear coat it for the sake of protection.  I will post more when I get it all done.  If anyone want to know how I did it, just let me know.
