Just like every other Handi in the world, some shoot and some don't.  Larry

From OK to wow! Mine is looking like a wow. Larry is the guy to talk to. Mine started out as a HM2.  I would add that mine is a Fireball. Less powder, less recoil, easier on the barrel.

Moorepower has some very interesting observations on the accuracy issues with Handi rifles.  I had missed some of these, but I think he may be spot on with most of them.  Larry
