True Confessions
« on: December 07, 2004, 05:19:07 PM »
:D    Hi, my name is Jim and I'm a Handiholic. I must apologize, I have been hiding in the closet and feel it is time to come out.

   I posted on the shotgun Forum about my new 20 gauge Ultra Slug Gun. I posted here about the Buffalo Classic I recently obtained from raynor. What I haven't told you is that I also traded for a .308 Ultra, 25-06 Ultra, .223 Ultra and a Huntsman! :roll:

   I have a sickness and I can honestly say, I don't want to be cured! :wink:

    I reload but I purchased some factory ammo to see if the guns have the potential to be good performers. What am I saying, of course they do!

   The .308 didn't impress me with the first box of ammo. Then I came back and read your guys posts. I used JB Bore paste on the barrel and shot another box of factory ammo I shot 3 shot groups and they were from 3/4" to 1 1/2". Lots of potential!

   I used JB bore paste on the 25-06 and shot Federals loaded with the Sierra 90 gr. varmint bullet. All groups were less than 1". I also tried the Federal's with the 117 gr. Gameking. Those didn't do as well. They shot from 1 1/2" to 3". Still good potential.

   I haven't tried the .223 yet. I received the sight from H&R today, for the Buffalo Classic, and will try it out tomorrow. Will let you know how much she makes me grin.

   I feel much better now! Thanks for listening to my confession.

Jim

Hi!

I think you're deranged :shock: ..................probably hopelessly so!

Hope you enjoy the ride; hope you enjoy the fact that there is no cure.

Take care,  :wink:

Hi folks,
I am also new here & to I have a handi fedish, 45-70,270,7-08,223,12ga & still looking for more. If you get enough & keep a few around & the rest inthe safe you can swap the neww ones in & out and the wife never knows.
Also having a youngster who is coming of age is a good excuse to buy more for them :) (well maybe you can let them use them now & then under your watchfull eye :lol: ) you also have to break these in for them & get the sighs on so they do not get frustrated about not hitting there target. Hope all have a good day, glad to have found this sight. :D
That's my boy, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
