Hello from Minnesota
« on: December 31, 2009, 07:54:24 AM »
I thought I had a good, monogomous relationship going with the .44 magnum caliber, being perfectly happy with my Marlin 1894 and Super Blackhawk. But recently some gremlin crept into my brain and compelled me to get a .45-70 Handi Rifle. Anyway, this seems like the spot to be to learn about Handi Rifles. So, howdy, folks.

Otherwise I'm a big city guy with a strange enthusiasm for powerful, old-school firearms (my wallet hopes my enthusiasm fades soon). (Oh, and deer hunting. I'm a novice, just having shot my first one this last season.)
