ON #82 WEAVER BASE ---
SIMMONS MEDIUM RINGS ---

JUST NEED THE HAMMER EXTENSION...

I got it shortly after CHRISTmas and just got out to shoot it today it was bore sited at the store and it shot 2 shots at 50 Yds and 1 at 75Yds  all within 1 inch. can't wait till warmer weather and i get to really site it in..

Welcome aboard buddy, glad to have you here with us. You have chosen wisely, a 30-30 Handi is something you can do everything with. Hang around a little and we will get you to buy a Lee Loader for a 30-30 for about $15 and then the fun really begins, You can make that thing shoot like a .22 or like a .308, and all inexpensively too....<><....:)

Smurf,

Where are you located in NY?
I am also in upstate. I live about 30 minutes outside of Albany.
A little town called Hoosick Falls.

It seems we have alot in common.
Same age, state, both own a 30-30 Handi etc.

Now you need a 45-70!!
I just got one a little while back and can't seem to put it down!!
Great fun and easy to reload for. (same can be said for the 30-30)

Let me know where you are located and maybe we can do some shooting.


Welcome to GBO!!

Hi Wayne,

You and I have a couple of things in common. I'm also 34 and have chronic neck pain.
Because of that I opted for the .357 Handi (basically no recoil) for deer hunting.
I think you made the right choice with the 30-30 which also has nice light recoil and
is mighty accurate out of a Handi.

Welcome

Welcome Hunter Smurf
I just got a handi 30 30 also. Haven't had any real range time with it yet, Its cool here in Louisiana but not to bad.  Its been raining lately enough to keep me away from the range.
You will find a whole bunch of good knowledge here, and every body has been more than friendly and eager to share their knowledge.
Great Place and I think you picked a great rifle and caliber
