Just ordered my first Handi Rifle
« on: March 28, 2007, 04:50:27 PM »
Actually I ordered it yesterday, it should be here tomorrow. :) I got a SS/Syn in .223 for popping PD's. I was wondering what you guys are using for scopes. I am going to take the Tasco Varmint off of my .308 for now. After that I'll decide which gun gets the new scope.

I'd also like to say thanks for all the info stockpiled here. I heard about this board on another board and jumped over to see what was up. I'm impressed and I think I'll hang out for a while if Y'all don't mind.

Welcome to the forum. You bought yourself a real tack driver. You will enjoy it very much. You could put a Bushnell Banner 6x18x50 on it for a little over $100.00.

I am a gun nut in general. I own S&W's, Marlins, Rugers, a Taurus, Savages, Winchesters...

I had never really considered a Handy Rifle until last week when I decided the .308 was to expencive to shoot PD's with. Since there is a baby on the way anyday now I figured I'd better not go overboard. I heard good stuff about the HR so I figured I'd pick one up. Hopefully this weekend we'll see how it shoots.

Thanks again guys,
Scootter
