Must just be lucky! 20,12,22-250,25-06!
« on: July 20, 2011, 06:31:24 PM »
An old friend said before passing away," I'd rather be lucky than good."  Maybe I am both? I have a handi that originaly came with a 20 gauge and a 22-250. I have since added a 12ga turkey barrel and most recently a 25-06 barrel. All of the barrels work perfectly. The 22-250 shoots M.O.A. at 100yards. The 25-06 does ALOT better. 1/4 M.O.A. at 100 with first load I tried.( Two of three shots in same hole.) Of Course I read alot of posts here to work up the load. Only down side was it took 16 weeks to get rifle back, but it shoots great, so I guess it was worth the wait! Next barrel will most likely be 45-70. This combo should just about take out anything on the North American continent!  Just wanted to throw out a big thanks to all here !

If you order accessory barrels in June or July, you'll have a faster turnaround.  It's their slow time.  I got a .357 barrel back for my wife in 19 days at the turn of the month.  Two other guys reported even faster service.

Do get the .45-70 barrel, and while you're at it, get the .30-30 and .357.  Then hunt the classifieds for extra frames......that'll make you a serious Handiholic.

Good luck and good shooting.
