So i went to the gun show the other day and found a handi rifle in 223 with the heavy barrel and a cheaper scope for 300. My fiance and I went shooting the other day with my dads handi in 223 and she shot one shot and drilled the 200 yrd gong and said i want one. She shoots left handed so this little handi will be perfect for her since it will be easy for her to shoot and i get always get a 243 barrel if she wants to hunt deer. I need to get some shorter scope rings and take her out and get it sighted in for her but we shot it some today at a pop bottle and she is happy with it. Does anybody know if they make a left handed thumbhole laminate stock for these (like whats on the ultra varmiter just left handed)? Now i need to find one for me in 22 hornet or 22-250 or something and it will be prairie dog time.
