I bought my first Handi in August.
I was trying to decide on which rifle to get, either a Rossi or a Handi and did some research on both.
Most people don't separate the two, and most don't know the difference at first glance and I was one of those, until I researched it.
The Handi is the superior rifle by far.
That said, I wanted a .243 because of it's versatility, and the fact that it wasn't a hard recoil rifle, of which I've pretty much had enough of in those bigger calibers. (bad shoulder)
After finding a deal I couldn't pass up on a youth model .243 in a gun shop, I found this site, and soon bought a walnut stock for my new rifle.
After hanging around a while and doing a lot of reading I soon came to the conclusion that I needed to get a slightly bigger caliber to suit my needs.
That was a toss up between a 25-06 or the 7MM-08.
I found just what I needed in the 7MM-08 from the Handi classifieds, and now I've got both the .243 and 7-08, in my arsenal.
Like everyone says it's contagious!
In my opinion those two calibers are pretty versatile, and you can hunt smaller critters and larger depending on the bullet and load if your into that!
Just remember where talking Handi's here, and you can have all the calibers if you want!
