Handi verses Ultra
« on: April 07, 2006, 04:08:03 PM »
Hey Guys

 I have been looking at the Handi 25-06 SB2-256 and the Ultra 25-06 SB2-806 They both have 26in. barrels. As far as I can tell the only difference is the Ultra has the laminated wood. Is there something else that I am missing?

Thank you for your time  :D

That's about it, the Handi has New England Firearms on the frame and the Ultra has Harrington & Richardson on it. The finish on some of my Ultras is a bit smoother on the barrels and the frame appears to be polished better, but that could just be the difference in year to year production, dunno for sure, it's not a consistent difference. Just get the one you like best!! :wink:

It may just be mine...BFWIW..go with the Ultra if you can get it..every Ultra I've owned has always been outstanding..both in fit & finish..and in accuracy..and I haven't had a lick of trouble with them..not so with the standard Handi's I've owned..nothing that couldn't be fixed quite easily..but never-the-less..I just had much better luck with them.I prefere the laminated stocks over the pallet wood ones as well...and will save you in the long run if you want a decent set..
