ultra varmit 223
« on: June 06, 2007, 02:39:09 PM »
My ultra varmint just came in, or what I thought was, when I ordered it, they guy told me he could save me some money if I took the normal stock as opposed to the laminate, I asked if it was a varmint he sad yes, well after looking over the gun its a 223 handi with a 22" bull barrel, not a ultra varmint 24", I paid $249, what does the ultra varmint go for?I need to bring it in tomorrow and tell him to send it back and order my ultra.  i should definitely go for the ultra yes? thanks

What is the difference between the Ultra Varmint and the bull-barrel Handi, aside from the stock?  I was going to my local dealer to pick up a Handi .223 with a bull barrel, thinking that I would be getting the same mechanical parts as an Ultra.  Am I mistaken?

Frame is the same, barrel is 2" longer, 24" compared to 22" for the Handi.

this is my first nef, and I would rather have the 24" brl, the point for me was I ordered the ultra, and the guy had a handi shipped, even wrote on the receipt ultra 24" barrel, so I returned it, whittakers wanted $292 for the ultra, bobs didnt have one but located one nib fot $275
